Michael..
We may need to know a little more about your background first .. if you are primarily a technical person, then the legal implications of Costing methods within Accounting may not be your greatest interest. Also, determining that LIFO is unacceptable to the accounting profession almost everywhere in the world may not be a revolutionary or challenging area of research. Here are a few ideas: (a) For accounting person - determining Axapta's best capability to meet needs of both the Management Accountant and the Financial Accountant. (A good topic for any ERP package evaluation) Alternatively, investigation into Costing Recalculations and Closes .. how well they can cater for a particular business scenario. (c) For the programmer .. Also the Costing/Recalculation algorithm would be a productive area. Discovering factors that lead to good performance as opposed to factors that may cause algorithm to become unstable. (c) For manufacturing person .. tons of scope. Matching Master Planning onto a particular business scenario would be one, and assessing implementability. (d) For distribution .. looking at miscellaneous charges business loop. Again how well it maps onto a particular scenario. Please keep us posted on what you decide! And obviously any conclusions of some challenging research thesis would be of great interest. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "woconnor_ca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Costing is certainly would be an interesing topic for your thesis. > > As a side note LIFO does not indeed meet North American Accounting > standards and albeit a well established costing method. > > It is only typically used in Europe but LIFO is a legal costing > method just not practiced or adopted here in North America. > > LIFO is generally frown upon by various bodies the reason that it is > frown upon is that a business using FIFO accounting will show higher > profits in a period of rising prices than a business using LIFO > accounting.
