Answer 1 :
You might be better off in the field of marketing analysis rather than accounting. Accountant just deals with financial transactions that have already happened where you already have some training on analyzing how to improve sales, etc. But if your sticking to be an accountant, you should take the obvious accounting courses, some computer courses, and economics.
Answer 2 :
In the United States -- statistics won't do you a bit of good. They are completely different fields of study. In most states, you have to have an undergraduate degree that covers auditing, financial accounting, management accounting, professional ethics, and taxation, as well as business courses other than accounting courses, before you can even sit for the CPA exam.
