Because of recent financial disasters in the news, the board of directors of your company decided that they wanted to ascertain that the organization’s code of ethics was appropriate and in agreement with the Code of Professional Conduct (CPC) as adopted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Therefore, you have been asked to provide this assurance with a report to the CFO of your organization.
Create a report of 3–5 pages including the following:
Review the 6 principles in the AICPA’s CPC.
State what you assess to be the primary purpose of each of the 6 principles.
Analyze the codes of conduct of at least 3 major public U.S. companies.
Include citations for each of these companies’ codes of conduct.
Identify connections and relationships of the principles included.
Explain how the 6 principles relate to those identified in your analysis of the codes of conduct of the 3 chosen companies.
Prepare a recommended list of at least 7 essential elements that must be included in your organization’s code of conduct based on your analysis and assessment.

The paper must be typed and double-spaced in 12-point font with normal one-inch margins, in which case a 2,500 word document will be approximately 8.5 pages long.

All sources used in the paper must be listed alphabetically by author in a “List of References” appearing at the end of the paper. Do not list items that are not cited in the paper. Use a consistent style of footnotes, endnotes or textual references to cite sources. The List of References itself, of course, does not count toward the 2,500 words. Staple the paper at the top left-hand corner. Please do not place the paper in a plastic or cardboard cover or binder of any kind.

Topic: Intellectual Property Rights Intellectual property rights (IPRs) – such as patents on scientific innovations and performance rights for artists – are protected in order to ensure that producers have sufficient incentive to invest in the creation of new products that benefit consumers. But new technologies and globalization have made the protection of some IPRs extremely costly. Developing countries, in particular, face a difficult decision in determining how much resources to spend on protecting IPRs. Some analysts argue that a cost-benefit calculation should determine which IPRs are worth protecting and the extent and type of protection that is socially efficient. Discuss the social benefits and costs of protecting IPRs.
