am doing my final paper on Tim Durham: The Playboy of Indiana Tim Durham’s ambition was to be the world’s richest man and with a multimillion-dollar yacht, 70 sports cars, and a Playboy magazine model girlfriend, he may have fooled some. Too bad it was all bankrolled by a $200 million fraud. CNBC takes a look at the price tag behind the decadent lifestyle of the “Playboy of Indiana.” https://youtu.be/2L1bCV0uNgQ I selected this episode and I have to apply the principles, concepts, and theories of the auditing course and arrive at a conclusion to better understand and apply auditing. By gathering the facts, apply the course material, and arrive at a conclusion(s) regarding the instance. This assignment is due next Wednesday by midnight, April 29, 2015. 1) Exploring a topic within the perspective of this course and applying what we’ve learned in this course to today’s society and our lives in the 21st century. 2) Performing research and summarizing your work and the work of others in this course. 3) Writing style. 4) Integrating course material, discussion, and sources shared. 5) Providing a ‘lessons learned’ or ‘insights gained.’ FOCUS or TOPIC It is the time for me to assign a topic for this paper. I have requested ideas from the class and at this point the topic for the final paper is: American Greed. The paper should be written at an appropriate level for this course. Undergraduate research papers should be in the 8-10 double-spaced page range and use credible sources. The length of the final paper for this course should be easily met if one regularly organizes the weekly notes and responses in a file that can be reviewed frequently. There are many discussion notes and sources that are included in the weekly discussions that are valuable in evaluating how you are progressing through the material in this course. This paper must use an approved style, such as APA, reference page, title page, working table of contents (generated by the software), a glossary of terms, and may contain appendices if you choose. The emphasis of this paper is to highlight your own analysis or conclusions and demonstrates your ability to critically assess the resources you’ve selected and the topic that you’ve presented. SUMMARY The summary should contain an overview of this course’s descriptive topic. This should be the target for your conclusion in which you propose a solution(s) or course(s) of action. This topic of this course should be included throughout the paper and citations to the text and class discussion and lectures is required as well as citations from other sources. I will upload the course outline and syllabus for you to see the book used. If you need the book I can give you my online info to log into the e-book. This is an online Auditing class in Accounting.
