Research in order to find secondary sources on matters where a relevance to<br />
theoretical issue of accounting theory can be demonstrated<br />
1. 1. Identify the theoretical issue of accounting theory that relates with<br />
the most salience (relevance) to the contents of your selected articles.<br />
2. 2. Provide examples of agreements, disagreements or coverage<br />
disparities between the contents of the articles and the contents of the<br />
chosen accounting theory topic Readings and textbook. To do this, you<br />
need to compare the articles' content with the content of the various<br />
resources used in accounting theory and in that comparison, you should<br />
identify agreements (similarities), disagreements (differences) and<br />
disparities (where one source mentions something and the other does<br />
not).<br />
3. 3. Critique the articles. To do this you should at least:<br />
4. 4. Assess the significance of agreements, disagreements or disparities<br />
identified in the previous section.<br />
5. 5. Assess whether you are in a position to form an opinion on the<br />
accuracy of the content of the articles (for example, are sources of<br />
information revealed in the articles? Or is the author in a position to be<br />
trusted in respect to this topic?)<br />
6. 6. Question if the articles’ coverage of the issues has been balanced and<br />
comprehensive enough to present useful information (more than a single<br />
perspective identified and presented)
7. 7. Evaluate the worth of the articles to a decision maker who must<br />
consider similar issues in their respective roles (e.g. an investor seeking<br />
to evaluate investment opportunities; a manager wanting to make a<br />
resource allocation decision; a citizen wishing to exercise her civic rights;<br />
etc).<br />
