Question

Why do you think that communication skills are important in accounting?

Answer 1

Communication is the core activity of the accounting profession, transmitting information from one person to another, from one organisation to another – or a combination of both – and to the shareholders and other stakeholders of the organisation.An accountant who exhibits poor communication can reflect negatively on the firm or company they are representing. A lack of communication can also lead to frustrated or even lost clientele. A business suffers a lot due to such deficiencies of lack of communication. A wrong information communicated to accountants may mislead the financial statements. So, due to such reasons mentioned above a good communication is required for accountants also.
