Developing a research thesis for this study program helps to understand the fundamental themes of accounting. It should illustrate the process of reasoning that accountants use to interpret the effects of financial transactions on the income and financial position of a company or firm. Deepening the subject through research helps those who want to practice this profession to understand the balance sheet, income statement and accounting cycle; financial statements; working capital, inventories, fixed assets and depreciation, dividends and reserves and long-term debt; as well as basic cost accounting, cost principles, consolidated financial statements and internal management accounting.
