Abstract
This thesis was completed during the 2021-2022 academic year consists of eleven accounting case studies. The topics from these cases cover a wide variety of topics both related and external to accounting. The first five pertain to topics such as 9/11, the impact of COVID-19 on Pfizer, an interview with a business professional, and an Excel certification course. One of the cases also pertains to the city we desire to start our career in.
Following case 5, myself and several other honors students worked together to complete the next six cases, which involved a multiple-week analysis of Goldman Sachs. Topics include the business structure of Goldman Sachs, audit risks and controls, tax-saving strategies, advisory opinions, and an overall threat assessment. After completing these cases, they were compiled and presented to a panel of accounting professionals, who then were able to make further inquiries about the presented material.
