Managers are usually concerned with how their choice of accounting methods affects their published earnings. You are asked to critically examine and report reasons that drive managerial choices of different accounting methods making references to views derived from conventional accounting research literature that seeks to explain and predict actual accounting practices. You are also asked to critically contrast those views with the views of the so-called Normative Accounting Theory. You should clearly demonstrate your ability to identify the relevant articles and critically evaluate the relevant academic literature. Furthermore, you should demonstrate your competence of properly summarising and effectively conveying your ideas within the given time and length of the report constraints.
