of management that had provided me to the opportunity to gain understanding of various subjects
but out of all of them I think financial accounting is most appropriate for me. The reason for this

complexity of data which provides me the power to effectively analyse financial information of
an enterprise. As far as my skills and experience are concerned, I think my skills and experience
