Research Journal Assignment #1: Areas of Academic Interest

My major area of academic interest is accounting. Following are the accounting classes I have taken or are taking to date:

University of Colorado at Denver

• Acct. 2200 - Financial Accounting and Financial Statement Analysis


• Acct. 2220 - Managerial Accounting and Professional Issues


• Acct. 3054 - Accounting Systems and Data Processing


• Acct. 3220 - Intermediate Financial Accounting I


• Acct. 3230 - Intermediate Financial Accounting II

Metropolitan State College of Denver

• Acct. 3090 - Tax I

I think tax issues would be an interesting topic to cover. I'm just not sure I know enough about this topic. I would have research this topic more as there are so many issues related to this topic.

I currently work in the field of family law. Following is a list of family law issues that I deal with on a regular basis:

Family Law Issues

• Separation and other Marital Agreements


• Disposition of Property


• Maintenance (f/k/a alimony)


• Child Support


• Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (custody/decision making/parenting time)


• Procedural and Evidentiary Matters

This area is not my major area of academic interest, but I'm comfortable with this topic because I have worked in this field for many years. It may be easier for me to narrow down an issue under this topic for my research paper.
