Summary of seven data analytics projects for introductory accounting

There has been a lot of interest in the data analytics cases for introductory accounting that have been posted on this blog. I am providing a summary of the seven data analytics cases and related links in the table below to make it more convenient to see, at a glance, what projects are available and where to find them. Remember that these projects include step-by-step tutorial videos, data sets, discussion questions, and more! All projects are free for you and your students to use. Please maintain the academic integrity of these projects – do not post the instructor guide/solutions or share solutions with students.

Give me about 5 – 8 days to respond to your request for instructor materials (I generally process these requests about once a week). Check your Spam folder for my response if you do not see my email response to your request within 5 – 8 days.

Please use these cases as you see fit – and please share any feedback you have. Thank you!
