The final project for this course is a case study in which you will select a real-world accounting ethics case involving earnings mismanagement, fraud, poor internal controls, or poor corporate governance. From the perspective of an accounting professional, each student will analyze responsibilities to stakeholders while considering theoretical models of ethical behavior, the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, emerging technologies, regulatory activities, and (if applicable) international accounting standards.
Submit a well-developed analysis of the ethical framework utilized when setting appropriate standards of conduct for professional accountants in order to promote ethical values and decision making.
