Is it time to subdivide Accountancy certifications?
Finance
- Accounting
- CPA and similar
- non-statutory
- Is outline structure by nationality valid?
- Banking
- Corporate Finance
- Personal Finance
- Public (Government) Finance
- Public (Government) Treasury
As it stands, it is mixed up and hard to follow. showing acronym first would be easier to read but those who have gone before in other sections have not set up that convention. 1958publius (talk) 01:23, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- It looks about time to do it, as it is getting big in that section. When you create the page, may I ask you create it as Professional certification (Accountancy) so that it is realised that it is a spin-out of the main Article. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 11:03, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- In the public area, I don't think there are enough Treasury certifications to become a separate section. However, instead it might be interesting to break the Public certifications into:
- Public (Government) International
- Public (Government) USA
- Public (Government) Local
- My concern with creating a separate article for just the finance certifications is that there is not always a strong line between a finance certification and (for example) a business certification. For example, Enrolled Agent (an IRS certification) is in the Business Certification article, even though a there's a strong case to be made that it belongs in the Finance certifications.

- My other issue with the creation of a separate article is that people screw things up. If the finance certifications are broken out into a separate article, new certifications may be posted there or may be posted in the main article. This negates the whole purpose of creating a separate article.Fredrik Coulter (talk) 03:40, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- If we break the Public certifications into only those three choices, we'll be ignoring the majority of the planet. If we also include "Public (Government) UK", 'Public (Government) Canada", "Public (Government) Mexico", "Public (Government) Russia", "Public (Government) France", "Public (Government) Spain", and so on for the rest of the world, the list will be too long for this page and will require a specialized subpage. 14:03, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Rob Kelk
