Assignment: Event Audit

For this Audit assignment, I am chossing to review and audit the American 6275 fixed seat multipurpose arena (The Allen Event Center) located in Allen, Texas. Since its first launch on 6th November 2009, the Center hosts all home games to Dallas Sidekicks and the Allen Americans. The Allen event Center hosts an average of 100 and more sporting activities every year. Nevertheless, the sporting facility has hosted activities such as hockey, boxing, wrestling, concerts, basketball, car shows, and many other events. The purpose of this science assignment is to perform an audit of an event. For my review, I decided to attend the Dallas sidekicks ECHL hockey game against the ice hockey team (Allen Americans) hosted at the Allen event Center. I contacted the ECHL management offices to inform them of my Audit plans so that they could grant me access and authority. The event is to take place on 12th September 2020 at 1 p.m.

The thought of organizing, planning, or managing a sporting event can sometimes be more discouraging when the managing authority is operating on a budget faced with limited funds. Most management agencies will require the practice of financial forecasting to enable them to be able to project the impact of inclinations and changes facing the environment of operation on future activities (Xiaoyan Xing, Chalip, & Green, 2014). Financial planning, forecasting, and budgeting are important for activities such as sporting activities since it clarifies needs, issues, and trends that need to be addressed when preparing budgets. Financial planning also enhances or guarantee decision making at all levels of any administration (Wilson, 2009). On the other hand, apart from the idea of forecasting, planning, and organizing a sporting activity, communication, and the use of proper medium/channels of communication determination is how everything runs.
