What ACCT 622 covers
Knapp's Contemporary Auditing: Real Issues and Cases supplies the case for each forum's first module/week, a classmate's case study is the reading for each second module/week, and the seventh module/week turns to journal articles, each week with one presentation.
Each forum has two graded parts: a case study answering the textbook case's questions, usually three to eight double-spaced pages, and a reply that critically evaluates a classmate's case study, both drawing on practitioner and scholarly journals with five or more references. The audit risk analysis is a five-to-seven-page memo, excluding the title and reference pages, written as an audit manager to a partner.
This advanced course provides students with actual applications of auditing procedures by exploring cases in which auditing was prominent and includes: Auditor's Ethical Responsibilities, Auditor's Responsibility to Detect Fraud, Event leading to creation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Broad (PCAOB) and Classic Court Cases affecting auditors.

Where ACCT 622 papers lose points
ACCT 622 work loses points when a case study narrates what happened without measuring the auditors' work against the professional standards, when a critique praises a classmate's paper instead of testing it, when either cites fewer than five references or none from scholarly journals, and when the risk memo lists risks without reaching an accept or decline recommendation.
Using a ACCT 622 sample well
Because the guide does not name which Knapp cases are assigned, the case study samples work three of the most documented audit failures and court decisions from public sources, and the critique samples answer composite classmates' papers on the same cases; the risk analysis sample assesses a composite prospective client.
