Ethics in Accounting: Satyam

In the accounting discipline, accountants are often required to make ethical judgments which have material effects on their company. If decision-makers act unethically when creating financial documents, their actions can negatively affect the company’s image and success, its employees, and the company’s shareholders. This project addresses the actions of decisionmakers associated with Satyam Computer Services Limited. The Satyam scandal amounted to a billion dollar fraud which later earned it the nickname, India’s Enron. This is constructed as an interdisciplinary project, combining the perspectives of both Accounting and Ethics, and fulfills one of the honors requirement for PHL 210.

Societal Reliance upon Technology

I want to observe to see whether students, here at NCU, can go a certain amount of time without using their cell phones. I want to challenge the student body to try to refrain from using their cellular devices in order to show that society is too reliant upon technology and cannot manage without it. Depending on what information I gather, it will show whether NCU falls into the category of needing technology in order to continue a daily routine.
