Comments

This page is to describe more about the term of Accountant and related issues, such as there are several specific pages for other professions including lawyer and teacher in wikipedia, so it is unreasonable to make the cleanup on that page.

Objection: I think this page is valuable to reserve rather than cleanup. In case someone deem this page that cannot meet the quality standards of Wikipedia, we just make the content amendments on this page that already is enough. (Talk: Lewislams)

Lots of 香港

This seems to be mainly about Hong Kong... I don't mind, I'm writing this in Quarry Bay, but others may think that shouldn't the local material be split off? m.e. 08:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. For instance, there is already an article British qualified accountants, which hives off most of the UK stuff. Matthew 09:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

done, see Accountancy in Hong Kong. m.e. 09:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Formatting

I've run through this page mainly making formatting changes. Only the first word in a heading should normally have a capital letter, items should normally only be hyperlinked the first time they occur, and similarly the article title should only be bolded on the first time of mention (I've left a few bolded in the qualifications list for now though. I've also amalgamated forensic/expert witness sections. Could still do with more clean-up though. Jimfbleak 06:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikilink

I do not know which one but one of the last two wiki links should be removed. They point to the same article. Viz.: Practitioners of accountancy are known as accountants. There are many professional bodies for accountants throughout the world, some of them are legally recognized in their jurisdictions. Such as British qualified accountants including Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA or FCCA), Chartered Accountant (CA, ACA or FCA) or Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA or FCMA), Canadian qualified accountants such as Chartered Accountants, Certified Management Accountants, Certified General Accountants and Registered Professional Accountants (CA, CMA, CGA or RPA)as well as American qualified accountants such as Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

Full charge accountant

"Full charge accountant" is a common term in want ads for accountants/bookkeepers in the U.S. Could that term be added and defined in this article? doncram (talk) 18:03, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Reads like a poor advertisement

The US section on the page reads like it has been lifted out of an infomercial or a college brochure. Are YOOOUUU ready to become an accountant? Is YOUURRRRR career stagnant! Call today and get a second accountant free! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.38.230.2 (talk) 23:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
