MA611 Auditing

Learning Outcome 1: Explain and apply the principles, practice and process of auditing to practical situations.
Learning Outcome 2: Research, critique, interpret and communicate current and future auditing issues to specialist and non-specialist audiences.

Part 1: The Impact of COVID-19 on Auditing

Part 2: The Impact of COVID-19 on the FUTURE of Auditing

Required

Present a ‘research report' (see below) that critically examines the impact that COVID-19 (a) is, and (b) will have on auditing.

In terms of Part 3's ‘Format and Presentation Quality' (worth 2 marks out of 20 marks; 10 per cent), your ‘research report' must have a/an;
(i) Executive Summary (up to 100 words),
(ii) Introduction that succinctly outlines the main requirements and your response to Parts 1 and 2 of this assessment task (up to 200 words),
(iii) Body that specifically addresses the requirements of Part 1 of this assessment task (up to 1200 words),
(iv) Conclusion that specifically addresses Part 2 of this assessment task (up to 600 words), and
(v) Reference list containing all cited works.
(iv) Proper English grammar, appearance.

Part 3: Format and Presentation Quality

As mentioned above, Part 1 and Part 2 should be presented in a ‘research report' format.

A key aspect in your group's choice of format/layout should be to ensure you impart your key messages effectively (i.e., complete the requirements) and efficiently (i.e., it should be succinct and take into account the word limit).

As per the Submission Guidelines on page 1, the report also should be coherent, and so consistency is expected throughout (e.g., formatting, language style, linkages between the parts, page numbering).

Note, groups who split up the requirements and work independently are likely to have more difficulty accomplishing this objective compared to groups who work on each of the parts collaboratively (i.e., as an ‘audit team'). An assignment that has been put together last minute will be obvious to the marker and, therefore, will not earn any marks for this part.

Make sure all pages are numbered, and the text fits within the margins of your pages. Start each part on a new page and start each requirement of a part on a new page, making sure to include the relevant heading.
