You are to research for an event (NOT BP-Gulf of Mexico or Exxon Valdez as they are likely to be discussed with you) where a company created a situation where their legitimacy was compromised. Considering the aspects of PAT, System-oriented theories and/or Social & Environmental, discuss the case. This should be in a report format, introducing the case, discussing the issues, how did they manage the situation, the conclusion (outcomes) as well as your recommendations and views. Note: the case must be within the past few years so that information is easily sourced.
Sources that you will find useful include;

Websites:
• AASB (website of Australian Accounting Standards Board)
• IASB (website of International Accounting Standards Board)
• FASB (website of US-based Financial Accounting Standards Board
• ICAA (Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia)
• CPAA (Certified Practising Accountants Australia)

It is also recommended that you utilise Proquest and Google Scholar as well as Financial review, the Age and BRW (Business Review Weekly)

Report structure: should consist of summary, introduction, points of discussion and conclusion. Where you feel a number of theories are applicable and that is quite likely, ensure they are clearly identified.

Please ensure you attach a copy of the case study to your hard copy assignment.
