Abstract
This body of work is representative of materials produced through the Accountancy Practicum course, under the advisement and supervision of Dr. Victoria Dickinson. This course allows students in the Patterson School of Accountancy to complete their thesis requirement for the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College through a series of case studies, primarily covering current topics in the accounting industry. The six case studies completed through this course cover a variety of accounting topics that are new or controversial, including the Corporate Transparency Act and the effects of the current political administration on the financial statements of food companions. Additionally, some special instance cases completed through this course highlighted impactful individuals in the fields of politics and economics. This practicum challenged students to work both as an individual and as a member of a group to apply classroom knowledge to current events, thereby strengthening their ability to think critically as accountants.
