Reviewing an argument
You can provide context for your paper is by reviewing how your
topic has been understood by other people. This maybe useful if you want to react to what
somebody else has written in the area. It is similar to a literature review in that it is
making reference to other peoples' work, but does not aim to give any kind of
comprehensive survey. Indeed it may simply concentrate on one source. After reviewing an
argument you can then go on to put your own case forward.
| Auditor Liability Throughout the Eighties and into the Nineties the question of liability has become more prevalent in the practice of public accounting. Recently, the AICPA has been lobbying for liability reform in cases involving negligence or malpractice by public accountants. Opposition to this lobbying has come from consumer advocacy organizations, trial lawyers' associations, and state public interest groups to name a few. (Bolinger p. 53) The key to success for the AICPA, according to Gary M. Bolinger is creating an image as a, "profession performing high-quality services but faced with excessive liability burdens that harm the public interest." (Bolinger p.56) One should not be concerned, however, in the pending political outcome, but in weighing the evidence argued by both sides and developing a sound reasonable basis. Therefore, the remainder of this document shall concern itself with comparing the prevalent arguments of both sides against one another and drawing a conclusion based on the evidence. |
