Abstract
This thesis explores many areas under the topic of accounting. Under Dr. Dickinson’s instruction, I was given a weekly topic to explore and write about my findings. I used various media to research and learn about the topics such as the internet, interview, and documentaries. The topics included the following: researching two potential cities in which I could intern and live; evaluating FASB’s definition of assets; certification in Excel; off-shore accounting to provide tax benefits; interviewing a mentor; the housing crisis of 2008; and a five-week-long case competition where my group teamed to create audit, tax, and advisor strategies using Boeing as a potential client. For each weekly topic, I had to submit a weekly write-up. In addition to a weekly progress report, the case competition culminated in a presentation in which my team presented our strategies to our peers as well as partners and managers of large accounting firms. The research for this thesis demonstrated the broad spectrum of topics to be considered in the accounting field.
