The accounting profession in the market economy consists of public and private accountants. Public accountants are independent professionals who provide services for a fee. Accountants who are employed by business firms are known as private accountants.

 The main form of business organization in the accounting profession is partnership, though some public accountants practice alone and the others have formed professional corporations. Public accountants try to avoid limited liability, because they believe that professionals should take full responsibility for their judgments.

 The title certified public accountant refers to the holder of a license to practice public accounting. The license is granted by a state government. It is granted to people who meet educational and experience requirements and pass an examination. All American certified public accountants are expected to keep their knowledge up to date and to maintain the highest standard of integrity, professional independence and confidentiality.

 In Russia accountants also try and do their best to keep up high professional standards. For many years they were held in a very low esteem in the country, now the situation is changing for the better. Public accountants in Russia offer different services. The main service is auditing. Besides, public accounting firms offer consulting services, some accountants are also active in tax planning and preparation of tax returns. Russian and American public accountants have much in common.

 The work of private accountants in Russia differs greatly from what American accountants employed by business firms do because Russia is only entering a market economy.

 Accountants who work for the US business firms have wide responsibilities. Their duties include cost accounting, capital budgeting for current operations, tax planning, they must know how to design financial information systems, and do may other things.
