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