Assignment Instructions
Write a 600 word paper on the following topic:
Compare and contrast the views of management and accountants regarding the changes required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on internal controls and how these changes have affected corporations, accounting firms, and investors.
Your paper must be formatted according to APA 6th edition guidelines, and you need to use at least one external reference.
Note that your attached paper will
automatically be submitted to Turnitin, and an Originality Report should be
sent back to the classroom within around 15 minutes. The Originality report
does not actually recommend changes. It does point out where you may need to
add a citation or quotation marks (if not already cited). Once you use it a few
times, you will appreciate this tool, as it will assist you in improving
quality and content, as well as avoid plagiarism. Your goal is to keep direct
quotations to a minimum and to make sure that you do not just cut and paste
material. Ensure that all your references are cited. A report with a
similarity index less than 5% is acceptable for undergraduate level work.
Be sure to use the proper organization (intro, body, conclusion) and follow APA style. Your paper should have a title page and reference page, but you do not need an abstract for this assignment. See the PowerPoint presentation attached for APA assistance.
