:: Accounting & Finance |
Excerpted from the Netherlands Career Guide
The international economic slowdown has had an impact on the finance and
accounting industries, especially in those specialties that depend on
exports or the sale of capital goods, such as manufacturing, wholesale
trade, and construction. As a result, related sectors, such as business
services, transport, banking, finance, and insurance, are also affected.
Financial services companies have announced a reduction in the number
of workers within their companies, primarily in low-level jobs; experienced
controllers are still needed. A substantial slowdown of output growth
is expected in banking and insurance. Insurers will suffer from the new
fiscal system, which makes buying single premium insurance policies less
attractive to consumers.
Nederlandse Orde van Accountants-Administratieconsulenten (NOvAA)
This public body represents the AA-Accountant profession. The NOvAA was
established as a public body with the implementation of the revised AA-Accountant
Act of 10 September 1993. However, its history extends back to 1948, when
the foundations for the current organization were laid. Under the AA-Accountant
Act, the NOvAA is required to promote professionalism and the common interests
of AAs. It is also responsible for monitoring the professional integrity
of accountants and for providing or making arrangements for theoretical
training programs.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
