So, as part of getting course credit for my internship, I have to write a 5 page “evaluation” paper, a sort of summary of what I did, what I learned, etc. However, the main assignment is a 15 page paper where I have to address a current issue in accounting. Since the assignment title is “Issues and Solutions” I suppose I have to come up with a solution too.

A glaring issue right now is how accounting firms are dealing with the recession. However, I’m not sure that cutbacks in spending are really an “accounting” issue, and I don’t know if I can write 15 pages about it. Someone else suggested writing about the shortage of accountants, especially in regard to 2010. I need to investigate that a bit but a google search didn’t turn anything up at first glance.

I had a dream the other night that I came up with a great topic, but I couldn’t remember what it was when I woke up!
