ACCOUNTANTS are boring……..
There is famous maxim "accountants are boring" and
as a student of CA, it will also be applicable on me when i step into field.
But i want to be an exception to the maxim like my favorite two teachers whose
personality and thought inspires me to be like them. It’ll not to be fair if i don’t
mention his name, One is Auditor and Financial Accountant @AsimNazirFCA (his
twitter id) another one is Cost and Management Accountant and Corporate law
specialist Mirza Munawar Hussain. These are the 2 accountant which I personally
feels are not boring but it is always
great and having pleasure in attending there lectures and talking with them.
Why accountants are
boring? The reasons I found, by searching net and taking comments on the
maxim from my friends whose are also studying accountancy and from my teacher
are as follow:
Nature of the work:
one of the reasons of being bore is its
work nature. As accountants are some sort back door player and dealing in some
sort of confidential matter. Even our teacher’s sharing their field experience
during the lectures but intentionally avoiding workplace name, source name etc.
which become a tale to us.
Works Load: Load
of the work is a key reason for being bored. In student life studies have no
intention to reduce neither in training and I don’t think so after being a
professional work load will be reduced. In student life we cut ourselves from
society as far possible for the sake of our studies then we got addicted of not
being social. I attended just 3 functions and missed about 9-12 functions in my
family in the period of 2.5 years due to studies. If I wanted to attend any of the
function for which I had to visit hometown and one function cost me 3 working days
which is not affordable for a CA student.
One of my cousin who is also doing CA and in Final stage now,
his younger brother told me that when he was at A.F. Ferguson once my mother
call him late night round about 10:00 pm
and he I’m in Firm, working. Than mother asked him how much work you have to do
in a day whenever I called you I found you in office and he replied; our attendance
schedule is fixed but no schedule of leaving office but with a favor of minimum
time at least.
Sir Mirza says that most of the accountants don’t study anything
when they are qualified not even keep updating themselves from the changes in their
field of work. He gave us the example of the term Deferred Revenue Cost which
has been erased from financial accountants but certain number of accountants
are still using this term. His take on the accountants is: they just do what
the seniors say and what they saw other doing. They do not use their brain as
much required.
When I asked one of my favorite teacher Mr. Asim Nazir, FCA
about why the accountants are boring he share a link with me.
Scientific reason why accountants are boring.
Thanks to all my Teachers and friends from whom I learn and with whom I experienced these things...
Every riddle have a solution........... Boring can be avoided.
