ACCOUNTING INFORMATION & CAPITAL MARKETS

CURRENT SCHEDULE OF TOPICS

This page is used to schedule topics selected by the class participants, for discussion during the second half of the course. Topics are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.

All topics should be relevant to the work environment. Students are encouraged (but not required) to identify topics that might accelerate their personal advancement (as long as the topics pertain to accounting information and capital markets).

The articles, which will be shown in the four right columns below, will identify the articles selected by the discussion leaders for distribution to the class on the week prior to the discussion. The remaining articles read and referenced by the discussion leader(s) will be shown in the list of current annotated bibliographies.

IMPORTANT > Sometimes articles downloaded from the web are not complete reproductions. DISCUSSION LEADERS MUST MAKE SURE THAT ALL ARTICLES DISTRIBUTED TO THE CLASS CONTAIN ALL THE FORMULAS, TABLES, GRAPHS AND OTHER EXHIBITS WHICH APPEAR IN THE PRINTED JOURNAL.
