Project Description:

Have you ever wondered how companies report their financial results, how auditors check whether the information is reliable, or how governments create rules that businesses must follow? In this project, you will explore the world of corporate reporting, auditing, and business regulation by working with real information from real companies.

Throughout the project, you will experience the early stages of academic research — collecting data, organizing it, and preparing it for analysis — all essential steps before deeper analytical work begins.

About the Project:

Accounting and auditing form the backbone of trust in the business world. Every year, companies publish detailed reports describing their financial performance, risks, governance structures, and regulatory compliance. Researchers use this information to understand how companies behave and how well they communicate with the public.

  • Introduce students to the basics of accounting, auditing, corporate reporting, and regulatory frameworks.
  • Introduce students to the fundamentals of business research through hands‑on data work.
  • Teach how to collect, clean, and organize data in a systematic and professional way.
  • Improve students’ ability to use AI tools responsibly, especially for gathering and summarizing data.
  • Support the development of skills related to critical thinking, attention to detail, and digital literacy.
  • Provide an engaging introduction to university-level research in business and accounting.

Project Tasks:

Collection, organization and preparation of data for further analysis

Excel file containing the compiled and cleaned dataset
Word document summarizing the data sources used, how the data was organized, and key observations from the collected information

  • Improved skills in Excel, data organization, and critical evaluation
  • Experience with real corporate documents used by analysts, auditors, and regulators
