I encourage you over the next few weeks to start brainstorming about what ideas you want to express in your essay. As the term progresses, develop the themes that you want to explore and start to overlay our discussions from various cases in this context. Keep developing your ideas and weaving our cases, readings, and class discussions into your views of the accounting profession and professional responsibilities and expectations.
