Abstract
This thesis is a combination of twelve different accounting case studies. These cases represent a culmination of two semesters’ worth of research on various topics that will help my career as an accountant. The cases range from company case studies to in-class activities including an excel certification course. The cases caused me to think critically about topics that affect the accounting profession which are not typically covered in my accounting course work. For example, the cases investigated Brexit, the financial crisis of 2008, and universal basic income. Also, the cases provided me with advice through interviews with experienced people in the accounting profession. Mr. Bill Crim was able to provide perspective on his career as a CPA, and Barrett Freeman gave me great advice for being a successful intern at an accounting firm. The city selection case also forced me to think about many different factors on choosing a city to start my career. All in all, this thesis compliments my accounting course work.
