Thanks to globalization, an improving economy, and increasingly complex tax regulations, audit and assurance accountants will continue to have good job opportunities. The Department of Labor predicts 11 percent employment growth, which is faster than the average, for accountants and auditors through 2024. Audit and assurance accountants will be needed to review financial documents and reports to assure accuracy, honest reporting, and tax compliance. Employment growth will also be triggered by tighter lending standards, as more audits will be needed to validate companies' creditworthiness. The increase in international trade and international mergers and acquisitions will also lead to more job opportunities for audit and assurance accountants.
