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.
Overview
For more than 50 years, the Trueblood Seminars have served the profession by teaching new developments in auditing and accounting to select accounting educators and thought leaders from around the country. Named after Robert M. Trueblood, the Trueblood Seminars offer educators the opportunity to learn from and network with Deloitte professionals who share their experiences and institutional knowledge which professors can take back to the classroom to better prepare students for their future careers.
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. These seminars help professors enrich the accounting curriculum to reflect the necessary skills of the auditor of the future.
The Deloitte Foundation also offers case studies covering fraud related topics. Learn more about the Deloitte Foundation Forensic Accounting Case Studies.
