Abstract

Over the course of a year, I performed case studies on various economic and financial topics and events. For the first half of the year, I worked in a group with three of my peers to develop audit, advisory, and tax plans for a publicly traded company named Agilysys. We evaluated economic conditions and the company’s financial and nonfinancial data to determine what areas both internally and externally the company can target in order to improve its operations. Once the four case studies were written and reviewed, we created a slideshow and presented our ideas on Zoom to a group of around 25 accounting professionals from all around the country. The second half of the year consisted solely of individual research. I analyzed important economic figures and events in the past and evaluated their impact on modern society and what we can learn from them. Overall, the point of this thesis is to showcase what critical thinking in the accounting profession looks like and present case studies that can educate the reader on varying financial topics.
