Accounting Technicians Ireland (formerly IATI) is one of the fastest-growing professional bodies in this country, with more than 3,800 members and 5,000 students. It was founded in 1983 to provide a recognised business qualification for ambitious young people working or planning to work in middle management or at support level in the accounting area. Accounting Technicians Ireland is a partner body of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland, which means that it has close links with the accounting profession as a whole and with major employers.
Intended Audience:
Students represent a wide range of backgrounds; from school-leavers to those already working in accounts but seeking a formal qualification.
What's an Accounting Technician?
Accounting Technicians are qualified accounting professionals that work at all levels of finance. They can work in all types of organisations and are widely employed throughout the public sector, industry and commerce and in private accounting practices.
Accounting Technicians are involved in the day-to-day practical work of accountancy and play a key operational role in producing reliable financial information. They can perform a wide range of finance roles, from accounts staff to financial controller and beyond. For instance, they can do financial accounting and budgeting, costing and credit control, payroll administration and tax returns. More experienced Accounting Technicians may often perform senior managerial tasks and audits.
Accounting Technicians can work on their own or alongside professional accountants. In a small company, they may be the only qualified accounting professional looking after the finance function, while in a larger company, they may be working as part of a team alongside accountants and administrative staff. While they are not accountants, they can perform many of the same functions and are qualified to take accounts up to trial balance.
