Abstract
This thesis presents a compilation of case studies undertaken during the ACCY 420 course in the 2022-2023 academic year. These studies encompass a wide array of topics, including operational risk assessment, environmental social governance (ESG), audit risks, and tax planning, with a specific focus on 3D Systems Corporation. Alongside, they analyze recent events such as the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank and the more former Financial Crisis of 2008. These studies aimed to gather substantial evidence and conceptually help us to understand our specific company. The first five cases delve into the financials of 3D Systems Corporation. A team of five members from the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College conducted a study of 3D Systems Corporation's financial health and risks. The resulting case presentations were delivered to business professionals across various firms. Other cases operated independently, offered a diverse range of subjects for research. Collectively, these case studies facilitated the application of accounting principles to real-world contexts.
