Government Accounting

Have you ever wanted to work for the IRS? A career in Government Accounting may be for you.

Government accountants and auditors are the watchdogs of the accounting world. They work in the public sector, maintaining and examining the records of government agencies and auditing private businesses and individuals whose activities are subject to taxation or government regulations.

Government accountants can work for Federal, State and local governments, where they must ensure that revenues are received and expenditures are made in accordance with laws and regulations.

In terms of options, government accountants working in the federal government enjoy the flexibility to work as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents or in financial management, financial institution examination, or budget analysis and administration.
