I have been a big fan of trivia’s and fan facts so I have decided why learn the fan facts of my chosen profession accounting.
I have gathered several accounting trivia’s and the more I read them the more eager I am to look for more. So I am bringing this to a higher level. I will collect more accounting trivia’s all over the Globe.
Here are some of the Accounting trivia’s that I am really fond of reading and I am proud of.
