TEACHING OBSERVATIONS/ASSIGNMENT SUGGESTIONS:
1. Students should be put on notice about the jargon oƒ accounting, the use oƒ
synonymous terms, the importance oƒ the context within which a term is used, and
the need ƒor precision in the use oƒ terminology. The ƒirst example oƒ jargon is the
term entity.
2. When discussing "Auditing — Public Accounting," have students ƒind the auditors'
opinion in the Campbell Soup Company 2020 Annual Report (see pages 87-88 oƒ the
Appendix). Emphasize that a "clean opinion" is not a "clean bill oƒ health."
