Abstract
In my practicum class during my junior year at the University of Mississippi, I was able to work on ten cases discussing many different accounting topics. During the first semester of the course, the class conducted research on different cities around the US for accounting internships, we became excel certified, and we completed an interview with a professional that had experience in the business world. We also had the privilege of having highly acclaimed accounting firms come to the class and present on a variety of different accounting matters. Additionally, we watched a documentary about September 11th, 2001 and completed a case related to the financial impact of COVID on the Pfizer vaccine. The second semester of the class, we worked in groups of four or five students for the duration of the semester. We were challenged to pick a fortune 500 company to do an accounting analysis on. The last five cases of my thesis are the findings of our research. We researched Johnson & Johnson, a large and popular pharmaceutical industry company, and we analyzed the company from many different perspectives including the services of audit, tax, and advisory. We defended our presentations at the end of the semester in front of a panel of classmates, professors, and accounting professionals.
