Abstract

This thesis consists of a collection of six case studies completed during the fall and spring semesters of Honors Accountancy 420 under the guidance and direction of Dr. Victoria Dickinson. These case studies represent an analysis of financial accounting and current economic events relevant to the profession. During the fall semester, Dr. Dickinson formed groups of students to complete four case studies relating to an assigned company. My group was assigned FB Financial Corporation, and we evaluated the company in the areas of risk assessment, audit and risk planning, and tax planning. At the end of the semester, we presented our findings to a panel of accounting professionals, which served as the defense of this thesis. During the spring semester, Dr. Dickinson assigned us relevant economic topics to analyze and respond to. The completion of this thesis has expanded my knowledge of financial accounting and encouraged me to think critically about the economy’s effects on the accounting profession.
