RJA #7c: Field Research Plan

To conduct field research for my topic, I will try to interview the professor’s at Metro’s Business department, and the facilitators at Regis University. I am also going to try to interview people who work in the accounting field.

I will ask each of them the same questions: What do you hypothesis caused the recession we are in now?; did the lack of standardized accounting practices cause deception in the financial industry, which caused financial records to reflect assets and profits that weren’t there?; do you think the changes in banking deregulations cause the situation?; do you think the accounting practice of Market it to Market influenced the financial records of mortgage companies to reflect false profit?; when do you think the downward spiral toward a recession first started, and was there a “beginning” point or was it a culmination of events and practices that caused the recession?; do you believe the new accounting practices will stabilize the economy?
