I realize that financial reporting will help prepare me for FAR, but I don't want to set myself up for a career of just entering debits and credits. Audit interests me but the wgu bachelor's classes in audit and accounting information systems were my least favorite in the program. Can anyone shed some light on their experience in either graduate focus and on how the choice impacted their career options?
So, I'm new to the field and just completed my bachelor's degree, and I've registered for graduate school as a means of accelerating my CPA (and to get some more experience). I'm torn between choosing Financial Reporting and Audit as my focus. I think that financial reporting will help me on the FAR section of the CPA exam, but I don't want to spend all of my working hours doing debits and credits upon graduation. Honestly, auditing interests me, but 1. my online program's material absolutely sucked (poorly organized and dry af--even for accounting material), so I don't have much basis to choose it from. Also, most people on this sub seem to echo the fact that audit is absolute hell. Any advice from your experience?
