Task: Off balance sheet finance as a financial reporting practice is unethical
Based on the title 'off balance sheet finance as a financial reporting practice is unethical' I'm asked to submit a paper that develops, expands upon and illustrates my arguments.
Along that, I have to submit a Kolb critical thinking model that summarizes the main features of my arguments and acts as a structure of my essay. I desperately need some help in getting the essay started such as how exactly can I fit in some accounting cases involving companies using off balance sheet finance to mislead shareholders and investors (Eron, Lehman).
Please explain and analysis the cases (Eron/ Lehman) or any other cases that are more up to date. My final paper should have a structure base on the following:
Experiences (from the professional literature). What's the difference with academic literature and professional literature?
World views in relation to off balance sheet finance.
- Purpose of essay
- Analysis of question asked
- Concepts (from the academic literature)
- Reasons/Assumptions to back up assertions
