Additional Information for Students

The thesis should not just be a literature review or a book report. A thesis involves developing and addressing/answering a specific research issue/question related to accounting. In most cases, this involves collecting and analyzing data. The data could be based on survey responses, interviews, experiments, or by analyzing data from an established database (e.g., Bloomberg, Compustat, the Center for Research in Security Prices, etc.)
