The Trueblood Case Studies
Uncovering complex accounting and auditing issues
Trueblood cases cover more than 30 topics and are available to higher education faculty. Cases are reviewed annually and are updated to reflect changes in accounting literature or the evolution of practice. New cases are added to the site annually in August.
Accounting cases from the real world
The Trueblood case studies prepared by Deloitte professionals are based on recent technical issues that often require significant research and judgment. The case topics highlight the “gray” areas of accounting and help prepare students for the types of questions likely to arise in professional practice.
Each year, new cases are discussed at the Trueblood Seminars for Professors, which, since 1966, have served the profession by teaching new developments in auditing and accounting to select accounting educators and thought leaders from around the country. Educators learn from and network with Deloitte professionals who share their experiences and institutional knowledge that professors can take back to the classroom. These seminars help professors enrich the accounting curriculum to reflect the necessary skills of the auditor of the future.
