ACC 580 - Contemporary Issues in Accounting
The focus of this course is on contemporary issues facing the accounting profession. It serves as an academic culmination that draws upon other courses in the accounting curriculum. In exploring contemporary issues, students will more deeply consider the theoretical underpinnings and practical application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP); auditing procedures and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States (GAAS); federal taxation guidelines; and the profession’s ethical, professional and legal responsibilities. Pedagogy includes extensive use of newsworthy accounting issues and the Financial Accounting Standards Codification, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Auditing Standards, and the IRS Tax Code, Regulation, and Guidelines. Course is team taught by three accounting instructors.
