Abstract:
This article refers to the multitude of financial and accounting job titles. The professional accountant and auditor will have to deal, during their entire professional cariers, with situations when their jobs, although will have the same title and they will have the same job title, will imply different duties and responsabilities.\r\nYou won’t be very far into your finance career when you realize what a nightmare of confusion job titles can create: exactly the same term of reference can mean very different things depending on who is using it and the context in which it is being used.\r\nUnfortunately, the meanings of job titles don’t get any clearer as your career progresses and you rise through the hierarchy.
