(6 pts) Requirement 5 How might Mark convince George that a going concern opinion is in the best interests of all parties involved? Give some arguments that Mark might make. (6 pts) Requirement 6 Obtain “Audit Committee Characteristics and Auditor Dismissals following ‘New’ GoingConcern Reports” by Joseph Carcello and Terry Neal published in Accounting Review, January 2003. This can be located through the University’s library database EBSCO. You can skim the “Research Design and Sample” and “Results” sections since these may seem very confusing, and the gist of the paper can be obtained from the other sections – be sure to at least skim them, however.
