Abstract

This thesis evaluates fundamental accounting concepts, presentations, and special issues through case studies completed under the direction of Dr. Victoria Dickinson. The cases cover a wide range of topics, including decision-making through financial analysis, tax policies for multinational companies, and common practices and regulations for research and development. Also, the studies compared US GAAP to other prevalent accounting standards recognized across the world. The extensive reviews allowed for exploration into the technology innovations that are shaping the future of public accounting. The cases were evaluated throughout the fall of 2017 and spring of 2018. Dr. Dickinson administered the case study material and outside material was obtained through academic databases. Through critical analysis of these concepts, presentations, and issues a deeper understanding of the world of accountancy was obtained. I am now more prepared to enter the field of accountancy and have a better understanding of pressing matters that will be encountered in the future.
