Accounting and Real Decisions Look through sev-

- eral publications referred to as “the business press,” such as the

- business section of a major city newspaper, a major business

- publication such as The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, or Forbes, or an on-line business news site. Find an article that illustrates how accounting information had an impact on an important decision. The article should detail how specific accounting information aided in making an informed decision or how misleading or sparse accounting information led to making a bad decision. Write a brief memo of no more than a page to your instructor reporting on the information and decision-making aspects of the article.
