Notes:
** This course is intended for Honors College students who have completed a minimum of three 400-level accounting courses.**Have you ever wondered why otherwise good accountants get ensnared in financial fraud or make economically inefficient decisions? Or, how accountants structure the environment to promote wise decisions? If you want to learn about how people think and how they make decisions, this course might be right for you. Course activities will include reading and discussing two best-selling books and watching fascinating videos on YouTube. Students will also read and discuss practical articles that provide interesting evidence about problems facing accountants and other business professionals. This course focuses on human beings, not accounting rules and conventions.
