| British
accountants currently seeking career opportunities in France will find
that their skills may prove attractive to the large French corporations
given the pluri-disciplinary approach to accountancy training. Other factors
include the move to adopt international accounting standards in France
and the increased cross-border acquisition activity between France and
the UK. In the public practice sector, opportunities are less numerous
for the reasons cited above.
Chartered Certified Accountants wishing to work in France are well
advised to consider acquiring two indispensable skills: a good knowledge
of the French language - enhanced working relationships, not to mention
goodwill, can accrue from correctly speaking the language; and an understanding
of the Fiscal and Company law environment.
