Island Kelp Limited: An Instructional Case^*

ABSTRACT

This case can be used in a graduate assurance or financial reporting class or an undergraduate capstone course.

The client is also considering entering a new agreement with a local First Nation and has asked for the firm's advice on the strategic fit.
