Question;- Find a professional journal article or web page report of an item of accounting news. The report/article must refer to a current event, consideration, comment or decision that has been published on or after 1st January, 2016. Your article could come from one of the professional journals such as ‘Charter’, from ICAANZ, CPA Australia or ICAEW UK or from other professional bodies. The article should not come from an academic journal. Academic journals generally publish 2 or 4 times a year, thus you may not be able to find the latest accounting news. If you are having a problem ensuring that your article is from an appropriate source, contact your Subject Coordinator for advice.
In your own words, write an essay on the article that you have found. Relate the concepts ideas and facts to one or more theories or topics you have studied in this session. For example, the selected article may link to topics such as measurement in accounting, normative accounting theory (Conceptual framework) or Accounting regulations and politics.
Provide a copy of the article with details of the source, date and page numbers with your report.
