Case Study ‐ Ethics

You are required to complete a research‐based case study assignment that is worth 15% of

your overall grade in ACCG100. This will encourage you to explore ethical issues in business,

using materials outside the unit texts.

Requirements

Consult internet, newspapers, and business magazines to search for a corporate case that has

attracted media attention due to ethical issues. Write an ESSAY to address the following

points using the case you chose.

1. Provide an overview of the company’s background, i.e. its business operations, etc.

2. What ethical issue has arisen? Clearly explain the ethical dilemma faced by the

involved parties.

3. Clearly identify and evaluate the stakeholders that were impacted by the ethical issue.

4. Was the decision made by the involved parties ethical? How would the business be

positively/negatively impacted by the decision? Explain your answer.

5. Detail your original view on business ethics. How has your view changed after

attending lectures and completing this case study assignment? Explain the differences

and/or similarities to your original view.

The ethical issues under consideration do not necessarily have to be accounting related. You

can choose either an Australian or international corporate case, but the case must be

reported by the media after the year 2000.

Other requirements

Length: 1,000 words excluding references.

Structure: use essay structure (i.e. introduction + main body + conclusion + reference list).

Formatting: standard 12 point font, 1.5 line spacing, and side margins 2.5 wide.

Referencing: all sources (i.e. the work and ideas of others) cited and referenced using the

Harvard referencing system. You need to provide both in‐text references and the reference

list.

Criteria and standards

The estimated workload for this assignment is 20 hours.

Your essay will be marked taking into account:

‐ Your ability to find out relevant materials;

‐ Your ability to identify and explain issues;

‐ Your ability to apply relevant concepts to analyse issues;

‐ Your ability to review your own understanding of business ethics;

‐ Your writing skills.

You should get to the point and avoid wordy repetitions (i.e. be succinct and clear). You should

reference the appropriate paragraphs of relevant regulations/standards or other sources you

refer to. You must avoid copying or stringing together lengthy quotes leaving little said in your

own words.

Please refer to the marking rubric for specific guidance on marking criteria and standards.
