Assessment Description 
You are required to complete the assessment task noted below as a word document and submit your answer electronically through turn it in, within LEO; 
Instructions are on LEO. 
Any work which has been copied or shared among students will result in a Fail grade for all students concerned. This assignment must be in your own words and not copied directly from any source. 
Please choose one topic out of the topics listed below and write an essay. 
Please keep in mind that a significant proportion of your marks will be weighted how well you integrate your research into your essay. 
TOPIC 1: Positive accounting theory 
-Explain the difference between (PAT) and normative accounting theory (NAT) and the factors that led to the development of PAT of accounting policy choice. Use examples where appropriate to do so.In setting accounting standards which of these accounting theories (positive or normative) would be applied? Explain your answer clearly giving reasons for your choice. 
TOPIC 2: Sustainability and environmental accounting 
During a Government inquiry, several years ago, a leading accounting body, made a submission into corporate social responsibility. It showed that that while there was strong public support (over 78%) and shareholder support (above 85%), for making businesses provide social and environmental reporting. These results were not reflected in opinions held by business leaders, who had just over 50% support. The leading accounting body felt that compulsory reporting would not enhance the value of the information provided and create unnecessary regulation. -Given that sustainability reporting is not mandatory, preparing such reports is simply a waste of resources.- 
Discuss this statement, and explain what advantages do companies think they have in issuing sustainability reporting? 
TOPIC 3: Regulation of financial accounting: 
In an article discussing relevance IFRS to developing countries by Chand and White (2007), they state that, while the forces of globalisation and convergence are moving accounting practices towards a unified or at least harmonised regulatory framework for financial reporting, this is unlikely to best serve the diverse interests of the disparate user groups of financial reports. What do you understand by harmonisation as opposed to standardisation in relation to financial accounting? Explain your answer using examples where appropriate to illustrate your point.

Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had inside and outside the classroom

Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.
Things to consider: Many students have a passion for one specific academic subject area, something that they just can’t get enough of. If that applies to you, what have you done to further that interest? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had inside and outside the classroom — such as volunteer work, intemships, employment, summer programs, participation in student organizations and/or clubs — and what you have gained from your involvement.
Has your interest in the subject influenced you in choosing a major and/or future career? Have you been able to pursue coursework at a higher level in this subject (honors, AP, IB, college or university work)? Are you inspired to pursue this subject further at UC, and how might you do that?

What would you say is your greatest talent or skill?

What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?
Things to consider: If there’s a talent or skill that you’re proud of, this is the time to share it. You don’t necessarily have to be recognized or have received awards for your talent (although if you did and you want to talk about it, feel free to do so). Why is this talent or skill meaningful to you?
Does the talent come naturally or have you worked hard to develop this skill or talent? Does your talent or skill allow you opportunities in or outside the classroom? If so, what are they and how do they fit into your schedule?

Perspective was practically a new method created during the Early Renaissance

Perspective was practically a new method created during the Early Renaissance. Perspective was a mathematical way for artists to simulate dimension in art. Below is the link to a video that I would like for you to watch first before searching for your image. I would like for you to share an image in this discussion showing one-point perspective (examples: a railroad, a hallway, etc.) even though we live in a 3D world. I would like for you to take a photo (with your phone or camera) of something from your everyday life that shows perspective. It may be something that you have never noticed before. Remember, one-point perspective has all lines (real or implied) going towards one point. Look around. With your image please tell your classmates the following information about your chosen image: (Post by Friday) -How did you create perspective in this image? (Did you have to stand at a certain position or shoot at a certain angle?) -Does perspective affect the way the image is viewed or portrayed? How? Give an example (what if you stood in a different position?

At the start of 2017, the forecasters correctly predicted the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates three times by the end of the year, and their other forecasts were all reasonably close to the mark

Topic:
“At the start of 2017, the forecasters correctly predicted the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates three times by the end of the year, and their other forecasts were all reasonably close to the mark. They saw a 4.3% unemployment rate at year’s end. It was actually 4.1%. They thought GDP would expand 2.3% on the year, versus actual growth of 2.5%. They saw headline inflation of 1.9% and core inflation of 1.7%, versus actual figures of 1.7% and 1.5%.”
-Wall Street Journal

• Select the variables you need for the analysis.
Task 2: Complete your data analysis, as outlined in your first assignment, with any needed modifications, based on your instructor’s feedback.
• Calculate Measures of Central Tendency and Variability. Use the information from Assignment #1 – Table 2. Numerical Summaries of the Selected Variables. Here again, be sure to see your instructor’s feedback and incorporate into the analysis.
• Prepare Graphs and/or Tables. Use the information from Assignment #1 – Table 3. Type of Graphs and/or Tables for Selected Variables. Here again, be sure to see your instructor’s feedback and incorporate into the analysis

As with any convincing argumentative essay, yours must successfully appeal to the reader on three levels: 1) logical/rational, 2) emotional, and 3) moral/ethical. Your essay should be approximately 1000 words in length and adhere to the MLA essay format. Use 12 point size Times New Roman typeface throughout. See The Bedford Researcher and << https://style.mla.org/works-cited-a-quick-guide/ >> for information on MLA essay format and MLA documentation requirements. It is very important that you be able to adhere to MLA style. One of our Course Competencies requires it. Incorporate into your essay at least three items (e.g., facts, quotes, ideas, statistics, observations, et cetera) that you have borrowed from at least three different kinds of secondary sources. Document your sources according to current MLA requirements. This means that your paper should have at least three parenthetical in-text citations and a Works Cited page in MLA format that lists the bibliographical information necessary to document each of your cited sources. Do not use open sources such as Wikipedia. Open sources typically are not considered to be suitable for academic, scholarly, or professional purposes. Submit your essay to TurnItIn.com where it must earn a Similarity Index of 24% or lower before the MS Word version of your paper can be printed out and given to me in class for grading. As always, use MLA Style throughout and follow the conventions of edited Standard American English
