WEEK 1: THE LAST DECADE OF ACCOUNTING SCANDALS

1. Read the article “Ethics Evolution in the Era of Sarbanes-Oxley.” This article is part of the readings for the week and can be found through the DeVry online library. The last sentence of the article says “Maintaining a culture that emphasizes ethics and compliance is challenging.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement?  2. Locate an article on an accounting scandal from the past 20 years. Summarize the article for the class and either add the article to your post or include a link to the article. What did you find most interesting or surprising about the scandal?
