Revision är ett yrke som präglats av sin trista image och revisionsbyråerna har haft svårt att attrahera nyutexaminerade studenter. Denna bild gäller inte längre då många studenter utbildar sig till revisorer och redovisningsinriktningen är ett populärt val. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på vad ekonomistudenter anser om yrket revision samt hur de stora revisionsbyråerna kommunicerar med studenterna. Detta har vi tagit reda på med en enkätundersökning gjord bland studenter på ekonomlinjen, Stockholms Universitet, samt med intervjuer av respondenter från revisionsbyråer och Svenska Revisionsakademin. Flera faktorer har i kombination med varandra påverkat yrkets image.

The domain of this thesis is Personal Information Management (PIM) which is a sub-domain to human-computer interaction (HCI) that specifically concerns the interaction between human and information. The purpose of the study is to make an exploration of information management in a scientific research setting, to study which tools and strategies for information interaction that are used in the context and to suggest possible improvements of today's practices. Three in-depth interviews with scientific researchers have been conducted followed by a qualitative analysis of the results. The results show that there are great variations among the three respondents and that there can be distinguished as much as 15 different dimensions that when put together forms a unique PIM profile for each individual. The recommendation following this is that tools for PIM have to allow a high degree of individualisation.
