Explore the implications of companies placing more weight on GAAP figures versus non-GAAP figures. In other words, “Window Dressing” will take a second priority.

Develop thesis statement first!!! Once you have developed at least one potential implication, use accounting standards and a company’s (or companies’) financial reporting to provide support for your thesis. You should also use specific examples to illustrate your point. While you should consider both positive and negative aspects, make sure that you make a specific argument regarding window dressing (e.g. something more insightful than “window dressing is bad and misleading”). Simply exploring the topic is insufficient, so be certain that you include your own position as the paper’s main argumentative element. Your examples and explanations may help you refine your thesis or it may help you discover a new one. Your paper should include at least one specific financial statement example. You can use other material as background or source material. Simply cite the ideas and words of others.Your paper should be directed towards a general business-press audience. Your paper should include a summary of the issue regarding independence that introduces your thesis statement, not a recap of the article or your research. The purpose of the summary is to inform your readers, so choose your details with your inferences or conclusions in mind
