What ACCT 511 covers
The custom Advanced Business Law for Accountants text is read one to three chapters a module/week with presentations and websites, and four open-book quizzes of 20 questions test the reading in Modules/Weeks 1, 3, 5 and 8.
ACCT 511 threads reach 500 words or more and carry two citations, replies reach 200 words with one, and acceptable sources include the course texts, the Bible and scholarly academic, legal or biblical sources. The research projects run seven to ten pages with eight scholarly sources each, and the interview essay of 1,000 words is posted for classmates, who reply in 200 words.
This advanced course seeks to equip the student with an in-depth understanding of business law specifically as it relates to the legal issues that are encountered by certified public accountants. This course is designed to further the student's knowledge and understanding of the law in such areas as the Uniform Commercial Code, contracts, securities regulation, organizational structure and formation, ethics, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, property and insurance, and other forms of government regulation of business.

Where ACCT 511 papers lose points
ACCT 511 work loses points when legal discussions state rules without citing the case or statute behind them, when research projects fall short of eight scholarly sources or rely on law firm blogs, when the interview essay summarizes the conversation without drawing lessons, and when forum posts miss the word or citation requirements.
Using a ACCT 511 sample well
The samples treat legal questions the way a CPA meets them, through an engagement letter, a lender's reliance on audited statements, a client's whistleblower or a securities filing, and they cite the cases and statutes that decide them alongside accounting and legal scholarship. Each composite situation is named as composite.
