Southeastern Oklahoma State University will be closed on Monday, January 26, in the interest of health and safety of students, faculty, and staff with ongoing winter weather conditions. Essential services will be provided to residential students on campus, but other academic and business functions will be closed. Online and remote learning classes will proceed as scheduled. This closure applies to the Durant and McCurtain County campuses. Other satellite facilities will follow local guidance.
Employment of business and financial occupations is projected to grow seven percent in the next decade, faster than the average for all occupations. Globalization, a growing economy, and a complex tax and regulatory environment are expected to continue to lead strong demand for accountants and auditors. From learning how to evaluate business financial policies and detecting misleading financial statements, to understanding business laws, Finance offers a variety of unique opportunities.
Accountants and auditors prepare and examine financial records, compute taxes owed and prepare tax returns, inspect accounting systems for efficiency and use of accepted accounting procedures, organize and maintain financial records, and suggest ways to reduce costs, enhance revenues, and improve profits.
Finance careers can be found in banks, pension funds, mutual funds, securities firms, insurance companies, and other businesses. Finance majors often find employment as financial analysts, financial managers, personal financial advisors, and financial services sales agents.
