FASTER platform - an on-line tool for EU accountants education

The European Commission developed the Europe 2020 strategy for sustainable and inclusive growth and it was adopted by the European Council in June 2010. The EC agreed on five main objectives; one of them is to raise the employment rate of citizens 20 to 64 years old to 75 % by 2020. EU member states implemented these objectives into their national policies. In that way, the employment is at the heart of many EU policies. Based on data for 2013, the employment of persons aged 15 to 64 was at 64.1 % in EU-28. By gradual integration of new members into the EU the process of opening common marketplace becomes continuous and brings new businesses. From the perspective of accounting, in case of operating of company at new markets is appropriate that accountants are able to keep track of accountancy of other countries. Our experience shows that complications are common, so extensive consortium of educational institutions acting in the field of the education decided to create a tool facilitating and integrating accounting information. The aim of the paper is to present FASTER platform an on-line platform for accountants´ education and job seeking - the result of FASTER project.
