USA Controversial Issues in Accounting

[jessica]

Hello-

I am currently enrolled in college and am required to write an argumentive paper about a controversial issue related to the field I am going into. I am going into accounting. So I was wondering if any of you guys have ideas about controversial issues in accounting.

Thanks!
