Abstract

This thesis aims to provide a holistic picture of the accounting profession through various topics in the field. Divided into case studies, each case examines a particular accounting issue or concept through research and analysis. These cases range from an examination of the events of 9/11 through the lens of the accounting profession to a multiple-case analysis of International Paper Company’s financial position and future actions. Several online articles, financial reports, and accounting courses were used to inform the information included in this thesis. These sources were not only used to provide an analysis of accounting concepts, but also to inform discussion of professional characteristics of accountants. These elements in conjunction serve to inform readers of the accounting profession as well as the accounting professionals that participate in the topics discussed in this thesis. Overall, this thesis seeks to inform readers of the multi-faceted accounting profession through individual studies of accounting concepts.
