Abstract

This thesis sets to examine the core accounting principles in financial accounting and apply those principles to companies' financial statements and 10-K's. Starting from simple transactions and adjusting entries, each topic moves through the financial statements and applies them to different companies. The second half examines more advanced accounting topics such as pensions and the buying and selling of securities. Among each section is also a thorough set of figures that highlight specific journal entries, data, or calculations to enhance the understanding of these topics. Each topic was researched through various case examinations relating to a particular area of financial accounting.
