Research Paper on Global Crossing Accounting Scandal
(a sample research paper is attached)
Each student will be required to write a research paper on an ethical dilemma. The purpose of the research paper is to engage students in ethical issues pertinent to business and the accounting profession.
The paper should discuss the ethical dilemma, the effect and consequences of the ethical act and the outcome of the case. In addition you should discuss what you would have done differently or how you would have acted in that scenario and what recommendations you would provide in order for these cases not to occur in the future.
Prepare a 10-15 page paper
The document should use a font size of 12 and one-inch margins and be double spaced.
Students are expected to use electronic means such as databases and journal articles to research their relevant topic. Several theories will also be explained throughout the semester so students are expected to use these theories to support their reasoning and arguments related to the ethical dilemma being researched. The paper must demonstrate a mastery of the basic writing mechanics, be free of grammatical errors and supported by proper references. Please follow APA guidelines when writing the research paper. Wikipedia and Investopedia are not proper academic sources, therefore academic research articles should be your main source of research support. All papers will be submitted through Turnitin in eCollege via the drop box. Papers in excess of 15% of originality will not be accepted.
Plagiarism represents disregard for academic standards and is strictly against University policy. Plagiarized work will result in an “F” for the course and further administrative sanctions permitted under University policy. Guidelines for properly quoting another individual’s writing and the proper citing of sources can be found in the APA publication Manual.
