These skills assist accountants in problem solving and decision making in general, and in professional research activities in particular. The present study is based on the secondary data. The collected data may be processed and analyzed in order to make the present study useful to the readers, interested parties and policy makers of the concern area. Further, the present study also tries to contribute to this literature by doing the research.
