Subjects at LC for accountancy?

Steve Collins

Sorry if this is the wrong place for a thread, but I thought ye leaving cert people might know...

So (obviously I haven't decided yet but) I'm thinking about becoming an accountant, because accounting in business is the only part of it I'm good at and that I find interesting and, believe it or not, kinda fun... :P
But I was wondering what subjects you need for LC to be an accountant, obviously you'd need accounting, but is that all?

Btw, I'm in 3rd year, and have to decide my subject choice in a month or two, and I've been thinking about French, Geography, Accounting, Music.

You don't "need" any subject to become an accountant.

You should look up http://www.qualifax.ie/

But from what I've seen there are no specific entry equipments; just the usual ones. I think only Sligo requires you to have accounting at leaving cert.

If you didn't do business [which I presume you did] then don't do accounting because you will get confused and have to change to another subject.

There are many ways to be become an accountant, so see which route you would prefer to take.

Sorry but that bit is rubbish-I took up accontancy having not done busness at JC(Everyone else in the class had done business at JC) all it takes is a little bit of hard work at the start to get up 2 everyone elses standard.I'm easily the best in the class probably as I took an interest in the subject right from the beginning of 4th year.

I took it up after not doing business for my JC. What happened I had to drop the subject and do Geography instead because I was too far behind and hadn't done any form of accounting for three years.

Yeah I'm doing Business now, but don't really like the business and economics part so much, only the accounting.

Thanks for the help.
