In the first part of the course, students will be given a strong systematic approach to performing professional research. In the second part of the course, students will work in teams. Each team will choose a firm that has been involved in recent accounting scandal and examine the firm's financial reporting before and after the scandal in financial media sources. Based on this information, as well as understanding GAAP and ethical conduct in business, each team will write a report and make an in-class presentation on the results.
