Research Paper: Emerging Issues

You will search the Internet to identify current emerging issues. Complete a one- to two-page single spaced paper that discusses the impact the emerging issues will have on auditing. You can search websites such as those of the IIA, COSO, AICPA, SEC, PCAOB, etc., to identify current emerging issues.

The one- to two-page length requirement excludes the cover page and bibliography. The paper should have one inch margins and 12 pitch font size. The paper should include a cover page (setting forth the title of the paper, your name, the course number, and the date), and a bibliography. The paper should include a short introductory paragraph, a comprehensive but concise analysis of the topic, and a short conclusion paragraph. The paper should be in paragraph format, please do not list items in bullet format or otherwise create unnecessary empty space.

Your paper should have at least three (3) references. Any references used should be from authoritative sources, such as from business and accounting periodicals - not merely statements from an individual's Web page. Wikipedia or other online encyclopedias, and technical manuals may not be used as references.

The paper, including citations and bibliographical reference, is to be done according to the APA rules of style.

The student should take care to avoid issues of academic dishonesty and plagiarism. A paper is not created through the use of copy and paste materials from the Internet but rather by carefully considering sources and personally writing the narrative, uniting topics from our class with current events and the work of other authors.

NOTE: You cannot recycle a paper from a prior class/course or semester. Your paper for this class must be original, and must be your own work. All sources must be properly cited.
