Project Requirements

Prepare a comparative paper using the companies your team members analyzed. Refer to CLC Project Assignment 1 if you need to review the assignment criteria and expectations. The second portion of the assignment submission should include:

• Body of the paper consisting of a comparative analysis of Item C or D for each company as well as an application of the FASB Codification to “prove” the items are reported properly by your project companies. The discussion for each company should be approximately 250 words. For example, if there are four students per group, the total for all four companies would be 1,000 words.
• Consider incorporating faculty feedback from the first assignment to improve the quality of the submission of this section.
