Accountants are responsible for a wide variety of duties. They make sure that a company is run efficiently, that records are kept accurately and that taxes are paid on time. Generally, accountants will prepare, analyze and verify financial documents.
There are four types of South Dakota accountants:
Public Accountants
Management Accountants
Government Accountants
Internal Accountants
Each accountant specializes in one particular field to provide specialized services for a company or for private clients. Their expertise is especially important at large public companies who are forced to disclose their financial status to investors or the Securities and Exchange Commission. But if the government discovers discrepancies in a company's financial records, the company and its executives could be in some big trouble: They could face hefty fines and jail time.
