Discussion
This class will generate many interesting discussions. Participate as much as you can, but at least on three separate days per week. Feel free to share personal experiences. Post recent articles and tell us about them. Let's have fun with the discussions!
I wanted to make sure you are aware of Keller's policy on Academic Integrity violations. For the student's first offense, the penalty for an Academic Integrity violation in a graduate course is a zero for the course (not just for the assignment, quiz or exam).
Some tips to help you when completing Case Study, and discussions:
"Over cite" is best rather than not citing at all!
Instruction
THE LAST DECADE OF ACCOUNTING SCANDALS
1. Read the article "Ethics Evolution in the Era of Sarbanes-Oxley." This article is part of the readings for the week and can be found through the DeVry online library. The last sentence of the article says "Maintaining a culture that emphasizes ethics and compliance is challenging." Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
2. Locate an article on an accounting scandal from the past 20 years. Summarize the article for the class and either add the article to your post or include a link to the article. What did you find most interesting or surprising about the scandal?
