Abstract
This thesis consists of a compilation of six case studies that were completed under the direction of Dr. Victoria Dickinson during the course ACCY 420 – Independent Study over two semesters. The first five case studies explore various real-world topics related to the accounting field. These topics range from historical exploration of figures relevant to accounting, historical events, and current events and developments in accounting regulations. The last case study is a quantitative and cumulative analysis of a semester-long group project focused on developing a detailed business plan that was presented to members of accounting firms, State of Mississippi governmental figures, and business people. The goal of the proposed business plan was to create a broadband internet service provider local to an underserved county in Mississippi that would bring economic value to that specific county and state and utilize governmental small business programs. Through these case studies, I gained greater knowledge and a deeper understanding of the world of accounting and its storied history. They have provided me with a more well-rounded view of the accounting industry that will greatly help me in my professional career.
