ECONOMIST VERSUS ACCOUNTANT IN ROMANIA

Abstract

The paper presents how it is perceived the accountant profession and the economist profession, by the companies who provide jobs for these two professions, using the most important jobs sites from Romania. The study was made in November 2015, on a total of 86 companies who offered jobs for accountant and economist, using ejos.ro job site and 61 companies who offered jobs for accountant and economist, using bestjobs.ro job site. Analyzing this practice met in Romania, through the company offer the “accountant” job although the position is in reality for the "economist" job, I tried to explain this wrong tendency using the term accountant in place of economist.
