2. Analyze how these events and standards are correlated and the impact that they have on the accounting profession in Germany today.

3. Evaluate what outcomes (both positive and negative) have stemmed from the implementation of these standards and the challenges that remain unsolved in Germany's accounting environment.

Your 3-4 page analysis paper must be supported by a minimum of three (3) sources in addition to your textbook. Use and apply theories and concepts from the course material and integrate course material where it is useful, but be sure to provide analysis, not merely descriptions.
