The accounting profession is frequently in the news, not always in the most positive light. The purpose of this assignment is to increase your awareness of an issue facing the profession.

Required:
Find, read, outline, and prepare to discuss a brief article from a general audience or business audience publication about accounting and/or the accounting profession. The article should have been published within the past eight months and should relate to accounting or the accounting profession in general; it should not be about some technical accounting issue. The appropriate search terms to use are “accountants,” “accounting,” and/or “accounting (specific topic).”
