Key Points:

- Accountancy traditionally fares better in bad times than a lot of other professions.

- When times are good, people need accountants and when times are bad, getting expert business advice is even more crucial to business. Accountants advise their organisation how to make best use of finances.

- When companies do go belly-up, there is work for liquidators and receivers as well.

- In terms of demand, even in the 80's and 90's, when the Irish economy wouldnn't have been what it has been in the last 10 years, we still saw steady growth in the number of people entering accountancy and staying in it.
