Valentino, please start a new thread for your question. It just confuses things to have different things going on in the same thread, especially since yours has nothing to do with the original.
Also please read the guidelines for posting homework problems:

Noor, I think you could take #1 and make it more interesting by delving into the advantages/disadvantages of switching to one international method and the practicality of doing so. However, I can't give you much help in finding material for that. I'm fairly terrible at searching for anything beyond simple. LOL.

I like your idea, and it's a bit connected to my idea. For instance, the challenge is one of the disadvantages. And it's not just a challenge for graduates. In reality, it's more of a challenge for non-recent graduates. I should know. :rolleyes: Doing anything "global" when I was in school (accounting or otherwise) was usually elective stuff, and we didn't have such a class in the accounting department. And I'm sure people elsewhere were not learning GAAP -- things were much less organized back then anyway. (Like most of Europe.) So recent graduates actually have the advantage.
You could limit it down to graduates, but that will most definitely apply to non-recent graduates as well. Might depend on how much info you can find and how long it has to be, and if you have to "expand" the topic a bit. ;) If you need some more "filler" one of the challenges is going to be dealing with U.S. tax law, so you could start looking into that as well.
