ethical challenge(s) in them. Once you have selected a movie, you need to watch
it and then complete the following review of the movie.
For the review itself you will be creating a PowerPoint (PPT) using Microsoft
PowerPoint. You will find another attachment, label Movie Review Outline. The
outline is intended to help you to make sure you provide all the needed
information in your PowerPoint. (There is also a template attached if you wish to
use it.) Please keep in mind that while you are not presenting this to me, this
should be a PPT that could be presented. Be organized and be thorough.

movie, put together a PPT.

ethical dilemmas you found in the movie. If there are accounting ethical
issues great, but ethical issues, nonetheless.
