Memo format: Memos are to be single spaced, typed and written in memorandum form. The references should be both embedded in the text MLA style with a separate Works Cited page, which is a list of references used in your memo.
Prepare a one page memorandum demonstrating your research and writing skills. The memorandums should demonstrate your understanding of the specific topic you select, be written in the proper format, and include an introduction and conclusion. Each memo is to be one page of written information and another page for referencing. You will lose points if the written portion goes over one page. The possible topics are outlined below.
Use of a general topic such as Individual Taxation or any of the general topics listed below is not acceptable for your memo. You are to select a more specific topic in one of the general areas outlined below:
Individual Taxation
Gift & Estate Taxation
Corporate Taxation
Financial Accounting and Reporting
Auditing
The topic of the memorandum is one found in the area of the general topic, but is not to be the general topic itself. Please provide at least one primary reference and a minimum of three references to support the contentions in your memorandum.
