  • Internships: Look for accounting internships to gain practical experience and build connections within the field.

  • Professional Associations: Join accounting associations to connect with professionals and learn about job opportunities.


    • M.Com (Master of Commerce): Specializing in accounting or finance through a Master's degree can enhance your career prospects.


    • Remember, the best path depends on your interests and career goals.  Research different accounting specializations like cost accounting, forensic accounting, or public accounting to find your niche.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs 4,00,000


Solution : Answer = Rs 4,00,000

C. Assets = 16,00,000

C. liab = 10,00,000

C.Ratio =1.6:1

Let the amount of the current liab should be paid = $x$

$\frac{16,00,000-x}{10,00,000-x}$ =   $\frac{2}{1}$

16,00,000-$x$ = 20,00,000 - 2$x$

$x$ = 4,00,000

C. liab should be paid = Rs. 4,00,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.

Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.
The officer asked the accountant why the accounts had not been reconciled.

Option 1: The officer said to the accountant, "Why have the accounts not being reconciled?"

Option 2: The officer said to the accountant, "Why the accounts had not been reconciled?"

Option 3: The officer said to the accountant, "Why the accounts have not been reconciled?"

Option 4: The officer said to the accountant, "Why have the accounts not been reconciled?"

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The officer said to the accountant, "Why have the accounts not been reconciled?"


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

In the direct speech, the exact words spoken by a person are enclosed in quotation marks and attributed to the speaker. The reported question from the indirect speech is directly presented within quotation marks in the direct speech version.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The reporting verb "asked" would be changed to "said".
  • Rewrite the reported clause as a direct question: "Why have the accounts not been reconciled?"
  • Since the reported speech is already in past perfect tense and there are no pronoun changes needed, no adjustments are required.
  • Add quotation marks around the reported speech.

Therefore, the correct answer would be: The officer said to the accountant, "Why have the accounts not been reconciled?"
