paper_requirements.docxObjectives
You are to choose a topic in a broad area such as:
· Auditing for fraud – public
· Auditing for fraud – internal
· Taxation
· Fraud
Although the topic areas are fairly open-ended, it is expected that each paper will have theoretical underpinnings, as well as practical implications. Suppose, for example, your interest is in auditing for fraud. An ideal paper would include not only a discussion of why frauds occur but also recommendations for a business or other entity to guard against frauds. Hence, a discussion of the internal control procedures and the role of internal and external auditors might be apt. In effect, both the “why” and “how” of establishing the appropriate procedures would need to be addressed.
What I Need/Guidelines: I need the paper to be done and ready to be submitted on or before the 4th of March.
PowerPoint Presentation - prepare a 10–15 minute presentation of the summary of your Term Paper. The Presentation will include the use of PowerPoint slides to be used as talking points with a 10–15 minute presentation. No more than 10 slides should be used. The presentation is intended as a summary of your research and analysis. As such, it should be a summary of the problem you researched, an overview of the literature review, and a discussion of your conclusions and recommendations.
The milestones:
Please read the milestones guidelines/requirements below carefully before starting to work on them.
The ultimate result of your analysis will be a final term paper in APA format. Because the research and writing of the paper is a course-long project, I was required a total of SIX distinguished milestones and deliverables to go hand in hand with the final term paper. Then write 16 pages of 10 point font and double-spaced paper based on the SIX distinguished milestones and deliverables below. As an overview, those steps are as follows.
· Milestones 1 – Select your topic problem statement. Prepare a one page summary (double-spaced) describing your topic proposal problem statement. You should discuss what your topic is, between three and five areas that you plan to analyze about this topic, and how you plan to approach your research on this topic. Your problem statement should also explain how the topic fits with the course, the degree and your focus area.
· Milestones 2 – Create a list of eight current references in APA format for the course project. Annotate your references – briefly describe the content of the reference and how it relates to your course project. References are very important. At least eight references are required for the final term paper. Anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable. At least three of those sources used should be from academic journals and/or professional publications. All sources should be current within the past 18 to 24 months from the online school’s library. All references should be cited within the body of your work and listed on the last page of your term paper in a section titled "References."
· Milestones 3– Complete the problem statement for the course project/ final term paper. You should discuss the topic problem for your term paper and a minimum of five problems that you intend to research related to your topic.
· Milestones 4 – Research and summarize a review of the literature on your topic – briefly describe the literature and how it relates to your term paper. The segment referred to as a “review of the literature” is intended as a starting point for your research. In effect, you should research what other experts and commentators have already analyzed with respect to the problem that you are scrutinizing.
· Milestones 5 – In this section, you need to submit a draft of your term paper.
· Milestones 6 – This milestone, you need to submit a draft of your term paper including the summary and conclusions.
Prepare an executive summary; finalize your term paper including executive summary and the finalized version of the term paper components that you completed in Milestone 1 through 6 – with references in APA format.
You should use the Term Paper Template which includes (in APA format): a cover page, table of contents, an executive summary, introduction, review of the literature, analysis and recommendations, summary and conclusion, and references. Appropriate headings should be used to designate the various sections of the paper. The paper should be in the range of a minimum of 16 pages, double-spaced and 10 point fonts. The page count is of the content and, thus does not include the cover page, table of contents, or references.
Best Practices
The following are the best practices in preparing this paper.
· Cover Page – Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared, and date.
· Table of Contents – List the main ideas and section of your paper and the pages in which they are located. The illustrations should be included separately.
· Introduction – Use a header on your paper. This will indicate you are introducing your paper.
The purpose of an introduction or opening:
1. Introduce the subject and why the subject is important.
2. Preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be covered.
3. Establish a tone of the document.
Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to read the paper. Also, include an overview of what you are going to cover in your paper and the importance of the material. (This should include or introduce the questions you are asked to answer on each assignment.)
· Body of Your Report – Use a header titled with the name of your project. Example: “The Development of Hotel X – A World Class Resort”. Then proceed to break out the main ideas. State the main ideas, state major points in each idea, and provide evidence. Break out each main idea you will use in the body of your paper. Show some type of division like separate sections that are labeled; separate group of paragraphs; or headers. You would include the information you found during your research and investigation.
· Summary and Conclusion – Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your report. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the tourism industry.
· Work Cited – Use the citation in APA format.
You can use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of the report. You could use examples like graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation, video clips, pictograms, tables, and Gantt charts.
