Our class meetings will be devoted to lectures, case discussions, case presentations, and work together on case and problem assignments. You will write solutions to assigned written cases. These will be evaluated in terms of the clarity with which you present your decision, the appropriateness of your decision, and the rationale you have presented to support your decision. You will need to cite appropriate accounting standards where applicable. These may be handwritten, one side of the page only.
Computer generated solutions are preferred.
Each of you will also lead a discussion of the analysis and solution to a case or cases in financial reporting. The criteria for evaluation will be based on you grasp of the case content and accounting standards, and your ability to involve all members of the class in active participation in the discussion of the case. It is expected that you will have worked out your recommended solution, put please be prepared to let alternate solutions emerge in the discussion. Each of you will be assigned to a team for the oral presentation of a case. The evaluation of these will be on the bases stated above for written cases.
