What are the benefits and downfalls of having two majors?

Question

I am considering majoring in accounting and economics, but my school offers two seperate degrees for the afformentioned subjects. I am already a junior and majoring in accounting, and I hope to become a CPA. Getting an extra degree in economics will take me one additional year of schooling, but I love the analytical skills gained by getting a degree in economics. How will an additional degree in economics help or hurt my chances of becoming a CPA at a big four firm? Will a CPA firm frown upon the additional year of schooling? If I become a five year student, when should I apply for internships?

world is looking for energies well directed, controlled and
willing to continue learning. A business might be the tool art
