ions. We found that students often needed just-in-time dissertation information. They needed information and explanation of different components of the dissertation, when they were at that stage. We recommend using technology and the availability of virtual learning environments to provide students with dissertation-related resources including pre-recorded lectures.

The goal of this research project is for students to learn more about international accounting standards.
Professional Topic Research Paper Assignment: The purpose of this assignment is for
students to research and learn about current topics/issues in international accounting. Students
will identify topics in international accounting (Textbook TOC could be used to identify topic),
research more about the chosen topic, and write an APA paper on their findings. The discussion
and analysis of the paper must be at least 6 pages (the cover page, outline, and reference page
are not part of the 6 pages).
2. The research topic selection must be posted to the assigned proposal topic assignment
discussion thread by the end of the first Module.
The research must be conducted using peer-reviewed trade, online CPA journals, accounting
organizations, academic journals, and other reliable online resources. While Blogs, Wikipedia,
encyclopedias, popular magazines, newspaper articles, online websites, etc. are helpful for
providing background information, these resources MAY NOT suitable resources for this
research assignment. However, it depends on topic selection. It is important to double check with
teaching faculty.
Please Note: The Library staffs are very helpful with assisting students in using the Online
Library journal database. Please contact them if you have issues.
Assignment Requirements:
1. Choose a research topic by the end of Module 1. If you do not know what to select, it is
critical to ask teaching faculty by posting questions within weekly Q/A discussion thread.
2. Research/find a minimum of at least 10, preferably 5 different peer-reviewed journal
articles on your topic from the University Library online business database. Online
reliable resources can be used as well. It is important to check with faculty, if you are not
sure about your resources.
3. The article(s) must be current/published within the last five (5) years. (The one exception
is for the accounting history of chosen topic – hard to find current articles on the
accounting history).
4. Write a 6 pages double spaced paper in APA format discussing the findings on your
specific topic in your own words. Note – paper length does not include cover page,
outline, and references page. Students cannot use quotation marks for this short research
project.
5. Structure your paper as follows (Please review the course syllabus for due date of each section
below). This is just a sample structure. Teaching faculty will provide feedback and observation
for each section accordingly.
a. Cover page
b. Outline/table of contents
c. Introduction section
d. Discussion section: students must integrate resources fully and support the
discussion with in-text citation.
e. Conclusion
f. References
