Accounting Ethics

/in /by

Read Major Case Study 3: MicroStrategy, Inc. on page 556 of your text.

In six to eight pages, supported by evidence from your text and from other research (at least two resources are required), answer the following questions:

  • Evaluate the accounting decisions made by MicroStrategy from an earnings management perspective. What was the company trying to accomplish through the use of these accounting techniques? How did its decisions lead the company down the proverbial “ethical slippery slope?”
  • What motivated MicroStrategy and its management to engage in this fraud? Use the pressure and incentive side of the fraud triangle to help in answering the question. How would you characterize the company’s actions in this regard with respect to ethical behavior, including a consideration of Kohlberg’s stages of moral development?
  • Why is independence considered to be the bedrock of auditor responsibilities? Do you believe PwC and its professionals violated independence requirements in the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct? Why or why not? Include in your discussion any threats to independence that existed.

instructions

Students work on a problem-based research assignment. Students collect and analyze relevant information in order to understand a production process and the HAZARDS involved in each stage of the process. Some examples that have been used are cases involving cotton dying, degreasing and welding operations, or copper refining, etc. Students discuss the hazards and health effects involved in each step of the process and develop recommendations to reflect a higher priority and accountability to occupational health and safety, applying relevant research and legislation.

Alternatively, students could utilize a current event/tragedy where the students discuss causes, apply legislation and provide detailed recommendations on how to prevent it from reoccurring. Emergency planning and other OHS program aspects can be developed and/or integrated into their discussions.

Compare work-life policies of 2 employers

/in /by

Write a 5-7 page paper comparing the work-life policies of two employers. To begin, select two organizations in a single niche of the economy, such as two technology companies, two retail chains, two transportation organizations, etc. You may select companies for any reasons you wish. For example: you may have an interest in working for one of them, you may personally know an employee of one or both, or you may simply be curious about them.

In writing the paper, research the work-life policies of both employers. I recommend first looking at the human resources area of each organization’s Web site. After that, there are many possible sources of information. Business media often cover the work-life policies of large corporations. Glassdoor.com, a Web site that allows workers to anonymously “review” their employers, contains helpful insights about many organizations. You can also interview family or friends who work in these organizations. Please note that relying on assigned readings only is insufficient, even if one or both of the employers are in our readings. (A company may be listed as one of Working Mother’s Top 100, but you must provide more information beyond what is in the blurb.)

In your research, find as much information as you can about work-life policies and benefits. This can include flexible scheduling and off-site work, family leave and vacation policies, child care assistance, part-time options, and so on. To the extent it is available, look not only for what policies are available, but also coverage and utilization. Do not expect to find the same amount of detail about both organizations; more information is available about some than others. In your paper, compare and contrast the two organizations’ policies. In addition to describing what each employer offers, address two specific questions.

  1. What is the business case for these organizations to offer work-life policies, or to not do so? Answer this question with specific reference to the type of business these organizations are in and the types of jobs they offer.
  2. Based on the policies that each organization publicizes, do their benefits favor women? Parents? Or are they neutral with respect to gender and to parental status?
