o Identify the relevant articles and summarize the issues you have identified based on your research.
o Discuss how these issues relate to the course topic.
o Provide your assessment of the issues you've identified. For example,
- What are the implications for auditors, regulators, managers, shareholders and the general public?
- Would you do anything differently than the actions proposed or taken by the individuals or groups you've identified?
- Are there any unresolved issues or questions that remain unanswered? If so, how would you address them?

Submit a copy of your summary materials and the article.
Topic of choice is very important, this is current interesting or new issues related to Internal Control- easy to understand/interest in articles. Sometimes even though the publication date of the article is current, the article presents examples of historical audit failures,change,stories, and problems etc. This is usually not the intent of the assignment.
