Ethics and Accounting Paper

Professor Instruction: This assignment is simply a means to search for research sources that accountants use.  I envision a paper with an introduction discussing the importance of research and ethics; bulletpoint paragraphs describing research sources, their purposes and content; a paragraph discussing how ethics must be considered in all instances in accounting and a conclusion.

From Syllabus: Students will complete a list of sources, explanation of sources and example question that might be researched in the source for accounting research in:  1) financial accounting; 2) tax; 3) managerial accounting; 4) law; 5) professional behavioral expectations; 6) attestation and auditing; and 7) governmental and nonprofit accounting (and any others that they may want to add).  Students will write a paragraph on the importance of ethics in accounting
