Question 1 - 1,500 words (10 marks)

You are required to find a newspaper article or web page report of an item of accounting news, i.e. it refers to a current event, consideration, comment or decision that has been published after the 1st of June 2021. Your article could also come from one of the professional journals (such as 'In the Black' or 'Acuity'). The article should not come from an academic journal. Academic journals generally do not contain news articles or articles of less than one page and are usually only published 2 or 4 times a year. You then need to explain the article that you have found in your own words and clearly relate the concepts, ideas and facts within the article to one or more of the theories or topics that you have studied this session. Support your analysis of the assumptions and implications of the topic or theory as appropriate with reference to sources in APA 6 style. For example, this article from The Australian in July 2018 could be linked to the topics of accounting regulation and measurement (and perhaps others). You must provide a full copy of the article or web page, with details of the source, date and page number with your answer.
