Content curation is the gathering, organizing and online presentation of content related to a particular theme or topic. In these exercises, the class will be curating a collection of related materials by selecting content to share. The collection will be built around ideas drawn from the curriculum.

Placing works of art in historical, social, personal, political, or scientific contexts means having a grasp of what mattered to people in the time the work was created. It is easy to look back into the past and recognize how our values have changed.

Your goal in this exercise is to locate a current example of a billboard, a photograph, or a poster that clearly conveys a social message. Visit this website to learn more about social realism (Links to an external site.). Review the concepts and be prepared to explain how your selected image connects social concerns with artistic presentation.

Here is an example:

I thought this poster made a strong connection between the use of an image that most viewers would recognize as being familiar but the context is enhanced by the written messages. The repetition of each sentence with the ending omitted becomes more powerful as you progress to the end until not only is a conclusion reached but a self-determination of change. This takes the viewer from being a passive participant to embracing the idea that every person makes a difference. You can too. (Source)

1. Post the image AND the URL so others can view them – try not to duplicate each other. Write a paragraph or two explaining the connection between art and the subject depicted. (20 points)
3. Your post should be a minimum of 250+ words and you should cite resources used. (5 points)

Please submit only one PDF for your problem set. You can have multiple pages in one file (in Cam Scanner, use the ‘Batch’ feature.

Assignment: Ethics in Accounting

Due Week 9 and worth 170 points

Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior. Financial scandals in accounting and the businesses world have resulted in legislation to ensure adequate disclosures and honesty and integrity in financial reporting. A sound economy is contingent on truthful and reliable financial reporting.

Instructions:

• Read the following scenario.
• Answer the questions that follow. This will be a 2-3 page submission in a question and answer format (also in paragraph form). An introduction and conclusion is not required.
• Refer back to your textbook for guidance on how to think through the scenario.

You have been recently hired as an assistant controller for XYZ Industries, a large, publically held manufacturing company. Your immediate supervisor is the controller who also reports directly to the VP of Finance. The controller has assigned you the task of preparing the year-end adjusting entries. In the receivables area, you have prepared an aging accounts receivable and have applied historical percentages to the balances of each of the age categories. The analysis indicates that an appropriate estimated balance for the allowance for uncollectible accounts is $180,000. The existing balance in the allowance account prior to any adjusting entry is a $20,000 credit balance.

After showing your analysis to the controller, he tells you to change the aging category of a large account from over 120 days to current status and to prepare a new invoice to the customer with a revised date that agrees with the new category. This will change the required allowance for uncollectible accounts from $180,000 to $135,000. Tactfully, you ask the controller for an explanation for the change and he tells you “We need the extra income, the bottom line is too low.”

Required:

In a 2-3 page paper, discuss the following:

1. Consider what you have learned relative to ethics and financial reporting. What is the rationale for the calculations/process used to estimate the $180,000 uncollectible allowance?
2. How do you think the misstatement of funds will impact the income statement and balance sheet?
3. What is the ethical dilemma you face? What are the ethical considerations? Consider your options and responsibilities as assistant controller.
4. Identify the key internal and external stakeholders. What are the negative impacts that can happen if you do not follow the instructions of your supervisor?
5. What are the potential consequences if you do comply with your supervisor’s instructions? Who will be negatively impacted?

Additional Requirements:

I would like you to think about how you will use this information to help you think through the ethics assignment scenario and effectively address each question. In addition, how will expanding your knowledge of business ethics better prepare you for future course assignments, and/ or other challenges you may face in your organization.
