An audit quality inspection scandal: ethical lapses in a misguided attempt to alleviate regulatory scrutiny
| Pengarang | : | - |
| Nama Majalah/Jurnal | : | Issues in Accounting Education |
| Volume / Edisi | : | 37 (No. 2) |
| Halaman | : | 109–127 |
| Abstrak | : | In 2017, KPMG discovered that several high-ranking partners in its Department of Professional Practice (DPP) had surreptitiously obtained highly confidential information on upcoming PCAOB inspections. In obtaining this information, these KPMG partners were able to anticipate and prepare for PCAOB inspections, causing the firm's inspection deficiency rate to plummet and its executives to tout the success of their efforts to improve audit quality. Once the firm discovered the scandal, the individuals involved were terminated, and six of them were ultimately convicted of felonies. This case study introduces students to relevant auditing standards, audit quality concepts, and facilitates discussion of a number of ethical issues. Learning objectives for this case include obtaining an understanding of the PCAOB and its inspection program, understanding audit documentation standards, demonstrating the ability to evaluate ethical issues, applying the fraud triangle in a unique setting, and assessing responsibility for the various parties involved. |
Does Drinking Milk Cause Strong Bones

| Abstrak | : | In 1935, individuals living in the United States began to encounter eye-catching posters communicating a variety of public program messages from the Works Progress Administration (WPA), established under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. Even at a glance, these WPA posters encouraged observers to employ thinking processes that we now highlight as cross-cutting concepts to interpret information and ask questions about a range of topics, including environmental conservation and public health. |
Career of the Month: Acoustician

| Nama Majalah/Jurnal | : | The Science teacher |
| Volume / Edisi | : | 90 (No. 7) |
| Halaman | : | 102-103 |
| Abstrak | : | Acoustics involves all aspects of sound, noise, vibration, and perception. It’s a large field that encompasses specialties such as architecture, underwater, biomedical, ultrasonics, and speech. Acousticians can work for private industry (including for consulting firms or manufacturers), as well as in academia. Tony Hoover works as an acoustical consultant for McKay Conant Hoover Inc., an acoustics and media systems consulting firm based in Westlake Village, CA. |
Science Journaling with Technology
| Pengarang | : | Brigitte Whaley and Ashley Campbell |
| Nama Majalah/Jurnal | : | The Science teacher |
| Volume / Edisi | : | 90 (No. 7) |
| Halaman | : | 94-98 |
| Abstrak | : | Students in today’s classrooms spend a lot of time using technology by listening to music, texting, watching videos, and using social media applications. Some theorize that student attention spans have lessened to a dismal amount due to the impact of technology. Students tend to engage in technology applications (apps) when the option is offered through an assignment or when it is incorporated into a lesson. |
Making Sense of the Deepwater Oil Spill Disaster

| Abstrak | : | Authenticity in learning is becoming increasingly important as today’s students are not “buying into” school just because it’s there! Today’s high school students have learned firsthand (thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic) that science is not static and knowledge is not reserved in a single place or preserved by a single group of people. Students have survived and observed how uncertainty works and understand that truly scientific methodologies are data-informed, not data-driven. They understand that most trustworthy scientists acknowledge these constraints. Data help paint a picture of problems that are emergent and must be revisited over time. Tragic moments in human history are perfect contexts for sensemaking in the classroom. Thinking about the difference between events that are human-made, natural, or some combination of both allows us to think more deeply about how and why designed solutions are necessary. Authentic learning can be achieved best through problem-based learning. Presenting students with a problem-based task at the beginning of a unit of study builds a felt-need in students to learn the desired curriculum content. In our experience, teachers have offered students culminating projects to complete after they’ve taught specific content. Instead, we propose a need to present students with well-constructed problem-based tasks up front. Using oil spills as a scenario and defining context for problem-based tasks and inquiry, we developed focal questions that allowed students to expand their thinking about chemistry, Earth resources, and historical contexts that tie science standards (HS-PS1-4; HS-PS3-2; HS-ESS3-1, HS-ESS3-2; HS-ETS1-1; HS-ETS1-3) to other content areas. |
The solar panels business case: a management accounting instructional resource
| Pengarang | : | Peters, Matt D. |
| Nama Majalah/Jurnal | : | Issues in Accounting Education |
| Volume / Edisi | : | 37 (No. 3) |
| Halaman | : | 141–167 |
| Abstrak | : | This case instructs students through the preparation of a real-world business case with a sustainability theme. The case involves capital expenditure analysis and communication for installing solar panels on roofs of two warehouses in the Super-Savers Supermarkets supply chain. Installing solar panels would save electricity costs from the public grid and save carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions. There are insource and outsource scenarios. The business case has three parts: (1) use Excel (including Goal Seek) to prepare a financial model with a discounted cash flow method—to analyze incremental capital expenditures, costs, profit impacts, and carbon dioxide emission savings; (2) prepare a Word report that concisely communicates the financial model and business case; and (3) prepare a PowerPoint presentation that concisely communicates the financial model and business case. A practice financial modeling exercise is included. The case suits undergraduate and graduate management accounting courses. |
Rooftop Garden Ecosystem

| Volume / Edisi | : | 90 (No. 7) |
| Halaman | : | 80-85 |
| Abstrak | : | As long as there have been roofs overhead, there have been gardens above them. Since the Ziggurats and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, man has cultivated plants for his enjoyment and nourishment. Fast forward 4,000 years to our increasingly urban world, and our rooftop gardens have undergone a renaissance. They are mainstays of large cities and hugely important in the urban planning of cities. They offer many positive environmental impacts for cities, including lowering the thermal footprint of buildings and reducing rain runoff. They also provide a space for small-scale urban agriculture and food production. It is with these thoughts in mind that we sought to have biology students design a rooftop garden ecosystem prototype in our Rocky Mountain location. |
The fyre fraud: a case exploring the dark triad personality
| Pengarang | : | - |
| Nama Majalah/Jurnal | : | Issues in Accounting Education |
| Volume / Edisi | : | 37 (No. 3) |
| Halaman | : | 125–140 |
| Abstrak | : | This case introduces students to the concept of the “dark triad,” a combination of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathic personality traits that have been associated with people who commit fraud. Students learn about this personality disorder by studying the events and the people associated with the Fyre Festival fraud. The case is designed to help auditing and forensic accounting students to: (1) recognize dark triad personality traits; (2) describe the fraud risks associated with this personality disorder; (3) analyze information in order to identify the red flags of fraud; and (4) recall the methods used by auditors and forensic accountants to identify and address the increased risk of fraud associated with a dark triad personality. In a post-case learning assessment, students reported significant improvement in their knowledge, comprehension, and application of these learning objectives |

| Abstrak | : | For as long as people have had stories to tell, folklore and tall tales have been a part of social gatherings. Storytelling helps us convey our history and learn our languages (Bowman and Carpenter 2004; Mzimela 2016). In addition, many of these tales have embedded within them valuable lessons relating to right and wrong, integrity, sharing, and other character-building themes. They often use figurative language like hyperbole, metaphors, and similes. English and history courses often include units on mythology in which students may learn Greek myths such as Icarus flying too close to the Sun, or African folklore, such as the spider Anansi learning lessons the hard way. |
