Hey I have to wirte a research paper for accounting and I'm having trouble coming up with a good idea on what to write about. It can be abount anything in accounting, onlt thing is that it has to be 10 pages long. If anyone had any topic suggestions ide appreciate it. Thanks

You can write a paper on Earnings Management and all the various accounting tricks that are done to get there, plus you can talk about audit procedures that should be used, or you can take a management accounting perspective and focus your recommendations that way.

By earnings management, do you mean illegally smoothing income to make the investors happy and the company look better?

Yes, that would be one way.

Another way would be to manufacture income to meet debt covenants, for management to get their bonus, etc.

Regarding your question about selection of topic for thesis in accounting, I would like to put my opinion that you must select a topic quite relevant to today's environment.For instance how do you say about a topic on INFLATION ACCOUNTING,being a general scenario all over the world.

Or even you can select a topic like CONVERGENCE OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS WITH IFRS, whicH is hot as well as quite challenging one.

You are on the right track by deciding to give priority to select a good topic. Because a topic selection is very important to have creative mood in your writing. Selecting an interesting topic for your research paper will really make simple your entire task. Some students are using online writing services to buy research paper (http://www.bestresearchpaper.co.uk) on their topic. Online writing services are good place to refer to get some working writing tips from the professionals in the field. You can also collect some more resources from other online sources. It is very simple to write more than ten pages regarding any topic, if you have interested in it.

Yes earnings management should be perceived as a bad thing. Through this tool companies often show a catchy picture about its own financial status.Some of the common methods for earnings management are under or overvaluation of inventory,under or over provisioning for depreciation, derecognition of liabilities on the strength of dubious transactions,advance recognition of revenue or deferment of revenue recognition, amortisation of expenses over a shorter or longer period etc

How do you see if I write on cash and bank management

like a topic on earnings management and inflation accounting, I don't see the independent and dependent variables.

Don't waste your time searching for a topic for hours. That'll just make you have a large amount of writers block -- don't be to pick either. The options these helpful people gave you are good enough.

please also help me find the dependent and independent variable in the following topic: effective internal control measures as tools for transparency, probity and accountability in the management of public resources.
