Following your review of course
materials this week, using the websites above, create an essay of not more than
two pages Relate these topics to our course material for Principles
of Accounting I.
Your essay should be single-spaced,
with double spacing between paragraphs. Use headers within the document. We are
writing business reports, not double-spaced academic papers.
Tell a story. Explain the concepts.
Use APA style for citations and create a works cited list. Your paper should be
adequate. Fewer than 1 page is to short more than 2 pages is too long.
Consider the question and decide:
what would you want to know? Include website references in your essay. This is
not a business proposal, but it is not a casual reflective essay. The goal is
to research, consider, and report what you know about these topics. The concept
of COBIT is related to each topic.
ISACA’s “A COBIT 5 Overview” (http://www.isaca.org/COBIT/Documents/A-COBIT-5-Overview.pdf)
is a key resource for your overall comments and “framing” of the three topics.
Why audit? We will either be the
auditor or be audited. We must understand internal control and the management
of risk. The management of risk is everyone’s responsibility.
We are building your vocabulary. You
can use the above concepts—especially the paragraph on “Why audit?”—without
reference. A good item for your works cited list: UMUC ACCT 220 Course
Materials.
Ask questions. Spell check. Write,
read, and edit. Take care with word selection and sentence structure, For all
submissions in our class, use your own words. Show what you know!
