The goal is to review a critical management accounting issue in thecompany (Starbucks or Facebook - NOT both) you have chosen. Generally, accounting issues can be found in the MD&A or in the report of operations section of the Notes to the Financial Statements of the Annual Report.

In your review (paper) you are to clearly identify the accounting issue first (based on the topics wecovered during the course), and to provide background on the company and its strategic environment. Determine how the company confronted and addressed the issue - or did not. You'll support your opinion by evaluating the company's financial statements using financial analysis techniques (such as trend, ratio, horizontal and/or vertical analysis). After describing how the company responded, evaluate the short-and long term strategic decisions. If you had been the decision maker, what would you have done differently?

In addition, your review should include the technology and communication techniques the company used, as well as to explain how this issue presented a legal, ethical, and/or social sustainability concern.
