Whereas auditors primarily assess and review the compliance of financial records, accountants create and maintain financial records. These are the so-called “bean counters” (though accountants don’t like to be called that) in any organization and are responsible keeping the costs within the budget and ensure that the funds are optimistically utilized. Their work is detail oriented and highly stressful. They also need to interact with other departments to collate the financial data. Some of the most important skills are high integrity, excellent in mathematics and strong coordination skills.
