Introduction

Welcome to Pearson Education Canada's resource website for accounting information.

The goal of this site is to provide students and instructors with a springboard to online accounting resources. We give you easy access to both Canadian and international links designed to heighten your awareness of the world of accounting.

The careers section provides a collection of links to various Canadian professional accounting association websites. We also provide links to resources informing you about career planning, finding a job, and opportunities for professional accountants in the public and private sectors.

A list of key professional accounting firms in Canada, the United States, and throughout the rest of the world has been compiled to improve your awareness of career options and issues in the accounting field.

The page dedicated to accounting resources complements our career and company information. Pearson Education has compiled links to "Directories of Resources" which are a collection of links to a wide array of useful accounting resources. Among these links are financial research resources, accounting organizations, and authoritative boards. We also connect you to key accounting magazines and journals. Need help with terminology? Check out the glossaries and guides to accounting abbreviations. Finally, we have included some miscellaneous websites that we think you will find interesting.

You can access a wide range of accounting resources from countries beyond Canada and the United States through our International page.

We've also compiled a separate page covering domestic and international tax issues.

Technology has played a key role in enabling accountants to work more efficiently and offer value-added services to clients. To introduce you to materials available to you as a future professional accountant, we've gathered links to key software companies and directories.

And finally, for the need to find lighter moments in your day, there is also a page of links to accounting humour.
