  Issues in drafting an Accounting dissertation 

  Writing a dissertation is one of the most challenging tasks and there are several issues involved in drafting an accounting dissertation.  Let’s discuss briefly some of the key issues involved in drafting an accounting dissertation.

  The best way to begin is by keeping the sections of conceptual part wide open as it lends a helping hand to readers in order to understand the content of dissertation at one go. Besides, the introduction, the way you approach a dissertation is a key issue involved in drafting an accounting dissertation. Introduction makes the readers familiar with the thesis and puts forward the objectives and importance of the research.

  Once you are done with these points, you need to focus on another key issue involved in drafting an accounting dissertation – review of literature. This is one of the most important segments amongst all as it comes up with theoretical knowledge and also goes on to carry a cross check of all previous research done on the concerned topic reducing the chances of error one may commit while drafting an accounting dissertation.

  Last and probably, one of the most pivotal aspects of drafting accounting dissertation is methodology. If you can easily mention the procedure, instruments and participants you brought to play in your process of research, the dissertation gets a fresh lease of life.

    Should I display all the practical part in the data analysis chapter or as Annexure at the end of the dissertation?

    You can describe the detailed analysis at the end under the Annexures. Data analysis chapter should show only the main part.

  Choosing The Most Suitable Research Methodology for Dissertation 

  It is often seen in the research write-ups that the researchers miss out on some very important points. Most often, scholars get confused over choosing the correct methodology for their dissertation. They choose the design, with which they feel comfortable, but it would be more beneficial for them to choose an appropriate research design and methodology, which approaches more to the reader and the society as a whole.

  Whether qualitative or quantitative; your research should have a purpose and a direction, that is not only reliable but also valuable and valid. If you are choosing the quantitative RM, your research should have statistically significant conclusions. If it is an experimental quantitative research, it should explain all the steps, previews, results and consequences of that particular experiment or theory.

  On the other hand, if it is a qualitative RM, it should be presented in its natural essence and you should focus on describing the behaviour. You should seek to explain the situation in detail rather than explaining the results and consequences of a theory.

  You should know the difference between qualitative and quantitative research methodologies; wherein the former tries to conclude a theory or an experiment, the latter tries to reach at a theory by describing the detailed scenarios.
