A Compilation of Accounting Title Studies

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a broad range of accounting topics and issues that are areas of complexity in the accounting profession. Through the course of a year in the independent study course, our class, led by Doctor Dickinson, delved into these topics to further our understanding of them. Each case covered a different topic, and, concerning the matter that we researched, we produced a report. Pertaining to each report, please consult the school archives for the Honors Accounting class for any necessary materials. After completing this thesis, our class has developed an understanding for these accounting issues that perplex professionals today, has learned how to research these issues effectively with materials we have at our disposal, and has applied our knowledge to real-world cases to constitute an elite learning experience as accounting majors in the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College.
