Sommario/riassunto

Emerging sensitivity of accountants to the role of communication and perception engineering Communication is an important component of how accountants spend their time. In addition to the involvement of accountants with traditional accounting, they also spend considerable time in meetings with clients and colleagues, in writing reports and letters, in interacting on the phone and by e-mails, in reading myriad documents and in supervising others.
