Abstract

As part of the Patterson School of Accountancy’s agreement with the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College, this thesis was completed through the alternative thesis program. As part of that program, students take ACCY 420, a class that meets for 2.5 hours every Wednesday night. During this class, we either meet speakers from various accounting firms, noted in the “Speaker Summaries”, or work on cases assigned to us. The cases range in size and scope. For example, in the first case, we were asked to compare the two cities we wanted to live in full time. In other cases, we were asked to research tax policy and comment on it. Finally, in the spring semester, we completed a six week long case competition in which we studied a company from top to bottom and presented solutions in each of the three service lines accounting firms perform. The following cases are the cases that we completed weekly, compiled together with our speaker summaries.
