Crocs, sugar and global business: K-State accounting 1xbet online casino take a sweet study trip to Australia
Kansas State University accounting 1xbet online casino know that they really do inhabit a globally-integrated business world. In May, 19 1xbet online casino in the Master of Accountancy program traveled to Australia to study international business and to collaborate with Australian 1xbet online casino on an international transfer pricing case study.
Led by faculty members Brett Wilkinson and Sheila Coomes, the 1xbet online casino spent 13 days visiting Sydney and Cairns.
"We designed this international study experience to mirror real-life business experiences," Wilkinson said. "Faculty members created blended teams of Australian and U.S. 1xbet online casino who collaborated remotely on a case study, before meeting up in Australia to present their conclusions."
In addition to working with the Australian 1xbet online casino , the team visited major international accounting firms, visited the Reserve Bank of Australia, and learned about the Australian superannuation retirement program — which has assets of nearly AU trillion under management. The group also toured a sugar mill in northern Queensland and learned about the sugar industry. Australia is a major exporter of raw sugar.
"My experience to 1xbet online casino was truly life-changing," said Ashley Eberhart, master's student, Louisburg. "Not only was I able to apply the concepts from my international tax course, such as transfer pricing, but I was also able to experience a different culture. Due to my previous class experience I was able to discuss international tax concepts with professionals in 1xbet online casino and develop a deeper understanding of the topic."
The 1xbet online casino also recognized the value of the experiential learning exercise.
"Studying internationaltax and transfer pricing through the case study took the learning outside of the classroom," said Brandon Fahsholtz, master's student, Wichita. "The real-world focused learning and the ability to interact with Australian 1xbet online casino and professionals has provided me with experiences that will be beneficialin my career."
Cultural highlights of the trip included a cruise on Sydney Harbour, a private tour of the iconic Sydney Opera House, a visit to a crocodile farm and a snorkeling excursion to the Great Barrier Reef.
"It's a meaningful and fun way for our 1xbet online casino to prepare themselves for careers in a global business world," Wilkinson said.
The Department of Accounting plans to run a similar trip to Ireland in summer 2020 before returning to 1xbet online casino again in summer 2021.
The College of Business Administration offers several 1xbet online casino abroad experiences throughout the year.
