Introduction
Maintaining financial statements is an art and is possible with the aid of a corporate accountant.
An accountant must prepare financial statements ethically. The accountant must necessarily
analyze the genuineness of all the business transactions to reduce or eradicate the possibilities of
errors and frauds. Compliance with all the laws and legislations is a must for any corporate
accountant to ensure that the financial statements reflect utmost credibility. The job
advertisement that was posted in Seek highlights the responsibilities of a corporate accountant
and the same will be projected in the report.
Evaluation of business transactions is substantial in the preparation of financial statements. The
accountants must responsibly deliver all their duties and analyze the nature and rightness of all
the financial transactions before the recording of the same in the financial statements of an
organization1. Compliance with all the legal requirements must also be necessarily ensured by
the corporate accountants.
