what is the effect of the relationship between internal audit and external audit on reporting?
Here are the instructions:
A research paper is required for this course. There are four parts to the research paper (topic ideas, outline, draft and final paper). You may write about any accounting related topic of interest to you and approved by the instructor. Your paper may not be an assignment that you have used in another course. Only the final paper will be graded.
Additionally, you will be assigned a peer reviewer. You are to exchange drafts and provide constructive feedback to your peer reviewer. You will be graded on the completeness of your evaluation of your partner's draft. Peer review is due 11/15/15.
Draft
Prepare a draft paper after conducting your initial research. The instructor will comment on the draft, but it is not graded. Please note that the recommendations are not all inclusive and provide the student with limited and general guidance. You must continue to revise your paper. You will not receive a grade for your draft paper. All references should be included in the draft. You must use an approved tax or accounting research database. The draft must be reviewed before the final paper is submitted. Draft is due on 11/15/15.
Paper
The final step is to submit the paper for a final grade. Generally, each developed and typed paper will be approximately 5,000 words. Papers must be submitted in accordance with APA guidelines. If a paper is selected for potential publication, the instructor will assist in its editing before submission and will recommend a journal/publication. Acceptance of a paper by an editor is NOT a requirement for this course. In many cases, it could take 3 - 12 months before receiving comments from an editor. You will need to make sure to identify the appropriate research question, identify key terms for performing electronic searches, organize your data, obtain data or information from multiple sources and integrate it into a cohesive paper. The analysis must be well developed and consider stakeholder(s) positions. The paper must demonstrate mastery of basic writing mechanics. The paper must be clear, concise, organized, persuasive and supported with applicable references.
