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 7-8pages
Research/find a minimum of at least 10, preferably 5 different peer-reviewed journal articles on your topic from the A 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 7 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

Integration of New Technology – Automation and Artificial Intelligence:
As artificial intelligence and mobile finance grow, online accounting opportunities are presented for the accounting industry. “Although only some
2% of large firms
have implemented machine learning or AI, about one-in-five indicate they are planning to start” (Beaver, 2021). The use of AI has been reasoned as means of addressing such issues as worker shortages, automate labor-intensive tasks and deliver more insightful data. I am curious how this changes the required skillset for accountants going forward both domestically and internationally. I would like to research what skills accountants “will need to develop to apply their expertise to information and data generated from new technology and play a role in more of the business strategy” (Beaver, 2021). I think one thing that I will need to find out like I alluded to above is if this will be the same skill set for domestic and international employees.
