Abstract:
The non-fiction book, Extraordinary Circumstances: The Journey of a Corporate Whistleblower, by Cynthia Cooper is employed in an upper-level undergraduate auditing class at a Canadian University to teach accounting students about the importance of ethical behavior and to improve students ethical decision-making skills. Students assessment consisted of a quiz and a group special assignment. Professors comments show support for engaging students about accounting ethics by using a real-world fraud story described in a non-fiction book. Overall, accounting students find this method of learning interesting and believe it enhances their understanding of accounting ethics.
