ACC 616 Topic 4 Discussions GCU

Using the one of the GCU Library’s databases, read and summarize an article related to your APR company’s business or industry. Following the research process, identify the issue or problem addressed in the article, the evidence used to evaluate the issue or problem, the conclusion reached, and the evidence/analysis used to support that conclusion. Include a citation and a direct link to the article in the database. In responses to other students’ summaries, you should discuss whether you believe the authors followed the research process and sufficiently defended and supported their conclusion. Does this article have any implications for accounting or business practice in your own business or industry?
