Case Study Overview (Case + Teaching Note)

The case study should address ethical, regulatory, and social implications in the accounting field. The case should typically include numerical computations (e.g., financial statements) as well as human factors. Typical cases describe a dilemma or decision faced by a well-developed protagonist.  Using the Journal of Critical Incidents, the case will introduce critical incidents (not fictional) in the accounting industry and contain a teaching note. Each case should provide only essential historical details and a brief situational context. The case should emphasize a focal point that presents the business problem or situation in an unbiased manner, allowing for varied outcomes or solutions to the case. The case ends with a summary of the overall dilemma or issue being faced and the decision-making role of the student.
