Abstract
This document includes two semesters of casework completed under the instruction of Dr. Victoria Dickinson in ACCY 420. These case studies were designed to expose accounting students to more applicable research to their field of study that will help them in their future careers. This document includes a total of eight case studies, spanning various topics in the accounting field. Most cases were completed in a group, with a few being completed individually. For each case, the topic was researched thoroughly using online resources and a solution was proposed or observations synthesized. During the second half of the course, my group was tasked with researching a company and proposing solutions for adapting to the Make America Healthy Again agenda. This required real-world application of auditing and accounting concepts that have been learned throughout the accountancy program. Through the research done in this course, I found how interconnected business and accounting is with policy and legal issues, as well as broadened my critical thinking skills on how businesses should run.
