The role of accountant ends by presentation of the financial statement of a company. Then, another role of financial analysts or advisor starts. Accountants are not eligible to give a financial advice unless he is familiar with the corporate finance and financial management, investment and portfolio management.

 

In other words, it is not true that the accountants are a financial doctor. He is a doctor of the accounting cycle, stages and life.

Yes, you are right but the accountant should understand the value of money and its right place of investments otherwise wrong moves put him in difficult situations.

The account is only adviser and as per auditing and assurance standard the audit is not an investigation, but it is expression of opinion, disclosure etc, hence we cannot compare with doctor.
