Abstract
This thesis is a compilation of twelve case studies designed to promote an understanding of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Given the dynamic nature of accounting as a profession, it is imperative that students and professionals have a firm grasp of the foundational principles set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each case provides insight related to the aforementioned standards and many corollary topics relevant to accounting professionals. The cases rely on both real and fictitious companies and their associated financial statements. The completion of these cases was of great benefit inasmuch as it provided the opportunity to examine essential accounting concepts through a lens of practical application after previously only seeing such topics in an academic setting. The cases seen in this thesis were completed under the direction of Dr. Victoria Dickinson in accordance with the requirements set forth by the University of Mississippi’s Patterson School of Accountancy and Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College Accountancy 420 course during the 2018-2019 academic year.
