Reviews are to be approximately two to three pages in length using the APA writing style.

• The article must be accounting/finance related.
• Read the entire article. Many accounting journal articles can be quite complex and use complicated wording and statistics. You may need to read the article a few times before you get a full grasp of it. If the article is too complicated then find another one.
• Cite any direct quotes or paraphrases from the article (or other sources) and include a proper bibliography at the end of your paper using APA format
• Write a summary of the article. This should be approximately three or four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article. Include the purpose for the article, how research was conducted (if applicable), the results and other pertinent information from the article.
• Discuss the meaning or implication of the article. This should be two to three paragraphs and is where you offer your opinion on the article. A key element to your review is to answer the question, so what? What do you think? Dont just say you whether you liked it or not. Provide reasons and explain your logic. For example, did it help clarify your understanding? What was omitted that would be useful? You may refer to other articles to support your thoughts.
