mas mahirap daw ang IT kesa ACCOUNTANCY

[llems14]

I don't want to follow suit in the argument which is more difficult between IT and Accounting. But I can't help myself but to defend accounting. I'm handling an Asisstant Managerial role in a Foreign Multinational Company doing business here in the Philiippines. My section is handling Business Process Improvement and I have an IT person reporting to me. Also, I have an Accountant who handles the administration of one of our Financial Reporting System (e.g. updating of business rules using VB Script, creating webforms, etc.). On top of that we also assist in difference Accounting and Financial Analysis using different models (e.g. Statistical model from simple regression to Structural Time Series Model. For example SWDA, Price Elasticity, Optimization Model).

My take on this is "Accounting and Finance" is very difficult. When I say difficult I mean the higher accounting and finance subject. It involves Statistics and Calculus. For example, how would you know the highest profit attainable if you don't know quantitative techniques such as Simplex Model or if you don't know Derivative Calculus? Hope someone can reply to this. But I can't say that IT is also not difficult. I can say I'm good in programming and IT folks need Accounting or Fianance People in doing System's Analysis. But we accounting people also needs IT, otherwise imagine the tons of data we need to analyze and we need their logical skills in coming up with a quicker solutions. Hope my take on this will help in this forum.

P.S. By the way, there are other areas of Finance and Accounting that needs knowledge of law including its interpretation. For example Tax. There are also areas of IT that needs higher mathematical skills. So I guess its like comparing an apple to an orange. In the end, they need each other and almost always overlapping. They are like an apple and an orange needed in one particular recipe.

Idea lang ah..without systems made by programmers, work for accountants will be hard, they will do things manually. I had subject in accounting before and I can easily get 1.0, well nasa tao yan ei..sa akin lang yun, nahirapan ako sa IT, talagang sobrang effort ko na bago ako makakuha ng 1.25..maaring magaling kayu sa accounting at mahina sa IT or vice versa. Anyways, Im in the project where I do systems being used by accountants..sa real world, IT requires extensive skills..lalo na pag may mga bagong technologies na gagamitin sa project..araw araw ang challenge, i dont know sa mga accountant if routine nalang din or siguro if may ginawa ang programmer na system, aaralin nila if they are the users.

OT: Mas mahirap ang engineering.

Broad din ang scope ng pagiging Accountant/CPA... They can all do works regarding business as well as in the field of IT. But for non-accountant majors they cant do the work of a CPA...

Mali naman siguro na kaya din ng accountant ang kaya ng IT then vice versa. May mga field talaga ng dalawang discipline ang di kayang gawin ng isa't isa unless may formal education.

Pag gusto mo madali, pag ayaw mo mahirap

[XxSkaterBoixX]

As a course, Accounting is much more difficult. Sabi nga nila, ka-level ng Medicine at Bar exams ang CPA board exam.


In practice though, mas mahirap ang IT.

accounting is really a STRENUOUS course because u need to read and absorb the THICK books. MEMORY and analysis. it has LAW, IT and RESEARCH subjects which make it MORE difficult.

Madali ang IT kung Forte mo yun at gustong gusto mo yung mga ginagawa sa IT,
Madali ang Accountancy kung Forte mo at gustong gusto mo yung mga ginagawa sa Accountancy.

Walang mahirap sa mga bagay bagay na gusto natin, mahirapan man tayo pero enjoy parin tayo doon sa ginagawa natin.

Based on my experience:
I.T grad ako, overall after 4years of being an I.T student, masarap siya na mahirap, Masarap kasi gusto ko yung course ko, forte ko na talaga siguro yung programming and some IT Stuff except technical., hahaha mahina ako sa hardware ee. still needs focus on that stuff,

Mahirap kasi may mga challenges bilang IT student like thesis., tska di naman lahat ng bagay alam natin ee diba? hehe


I had 2 accounting subjects SWEAR sa sobrang di ko siya gusto and di ko siya forte, msiki basic ng accounting nahihirapan akong magets, (hindi naman sa slow noh haha) I had good grades naman sa 2 accounting subjects pero alam mo yun after sem parang ayaw mo ng makilala o makita yung mga accounting terms.. hahaha


Wala naman sigurong debate dito sa thread na to between IT and Accountancy.

I have to agree with her/him, tama siya.

Sa current school ko ngayon we have 8 thesis subjects(4 minors and 4 majors) nag-eenjoy naman ako especially sa research part ng thesis pero sa programming there's a big (?) pero depende sa language na gagamitin. And also we have battery exams, ang pinaka-kinatatakutan ng lahat sa college namin out of 400 takers 20 to 40 lang ang pumapasa.

Nabadtrip lang ako ng mabasa ko ang thread na to!
I-compare ba naman ang Accountancy sa IT
grrrr!!!

Napaka-ano naman ang gumawa ng thread na to!

Malamang mas mahirap accountancy!

Eto pinakamahirap na courses dto sa phil:

LAW
Medicine
Accountancy
Engineering
Nursing
...

Pero feeling ko mas mhirap ang accountancy kesa medicine

dto sa college of accountancy, lahat ng classmates ko mga valedictorian and salutatorian sila nung high school.

Take note kung sila nga na matatalino nahihirapan. Tssss

pero im not saying na mdali ang IT. Kaya lang siguro mhirap ang IT kasi dahil sa application. I mean yung iba na walang alam sa technology.

High school batch:
Nauna pa grumaduate yung mga classmates ko na nag IT (eto yung mga di gaanong matalino) kesa dun sa mga kasama kong nag accountancy haha! Kumusta naman yun!
To take note na puro honor yung kumuha ng accountancy! Haha

ano gets??????
