I liked management accounting classes, instead of looking just at numbers you actually have to put them in to a greater context which is way more interesting

This just goes to show that the professor and the student affect how the class is received. Managerial accounting was one of my least favorite courses, whereas I actually enjoyed tax accounting (even though I'm an auditor...).

I think it's more to do with the student than the professor - my lecturers were all rather dull and mainly quoted the textbooks verbatim but I still found it fascinating.

What are some burning issues that accountants are keeping up with this year? I'm starting to prep for interviews you see...

I'm with a Big 4 and only audit private companies, and one thing we've been discussing a lot lately is FIN 48 implementation for private entities. If you're interviewing with a smaller firm that deals mostly with privately held clients you might impress an interviewer with some knowledge about that. As another poster said we are also looking at IFRS although that is a bit further down the road for us.

Ah, IFRS has hit my country (New Zealand) already I think
