Great Accounting Resource: Rutgers University accounting web site: http://accounting.rutgers.edu  This  Rutgers web site has a pull down tab that links to most major accounting resources and research.  It is  free.  Please use it.    Another Optional Resource: Gleim CPA Review – Auditing – 2008 Edition, ISBN 978‐1‐58194‐615‐4,  www.gleim.com  (Gleim study unit reference is listed in the schedule below.)    Course Description  This  course  is  a  study  of  the  topic  of  auditing,  focusing  on  the  audit  of  financial  statements  used  for  external  reporting.    Topics  also  covered  include  professional  ethics,  internal  and  operational  auditing,  and other assurance services.  Credit: Three hours.    Auditing  Principles  is  a  graduate  level  course  that  focuses  on  the  laws,  regulations,  standards  and  practices of providing professional auditing and other assurance services in the United States.  The main  objective of the course is to learn those principles for career purposes, not only for public accountants,  but  for  other  professionals  as  well,  including  corporate  accounting  managers  and  other  managers  responsible  for  audit  oversight  or  company  governance  or  internal  control.    With  the  passage  of  the  Sarbanes‐Oxley  law,  knowledge  of  these  principles  benefits  all  those  responsible  for  corporate  governance.    The  selected  textbook  uses  a  basic  approach  to  explain  the  principles  of  auditing.    It  focuses  on  the  course objectives without an undue emphasis on quantitative analysis.  The book employs a repetitive  approach  to  learning  the  course  material.    The  only  assumed  pre‐knowledge  is  an  intermediate  accounting course.    Course Objectives    The objectives of this course are to guide students in the process of gaining an understanding of the  following elements regarding auditing.   To understand the role of auditing in the U.S. economy   To review the legal foundation of auditing   To learn the principles and procedures of financial statement auditing   To review recent developments in the practice of auditing   To learn about other auditing and assurance services   To provide a foundation for students’ careers in professional accounting    Learning Objectives    Communication Skills    Analytical Skills    Ethical Reasoning    Foundational knowledge      2

Student Learning Outcomes    Historical Development of Auditing    Role of the auditor    Principles of Auditing    Conceptual Framework / Elements of the Financial Statements    Statements of Auditing Standards (SASes)    Fraud and its composite make‐up    Analytical tools used in auditing and fraud detection  Roles and functions of: SEC, PCAOB, FASB, AICPA, COSO, ISACA, IIA, ACFE      Prerequisites    Auditing I is generally regarded as a qualifying course.  However, experience and similar course  work may serve as a substitute.    Students with Disabilities    TWU seeks to provide appropriate and reasonable accommodations for all individuals who have  a  recognized  disability.  The  University  complies  with  all  applicable  federal,  state,  and  local  laws,  regulations,  and  guidelines  with respect  to  providing  appropriate  academic  accommodations  to  afford  equal  educational  opportunity  –  specifically  Section  504  of  the  Rehabilitation  Act  of  1973  and  the  Americans with Disabilities Act.    It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  student  to  register  with  and  provide  medical  verification  of  a  disability as well as academic schedules to the office of Disability Support Services (DSS) no later than  the second week of classes each semester.  The DSS is located in CFO 105.   The DSS phone number is  898‐3830.  The student must also provide the professor with appropriate documentation in order that  the professor may arrange for needed accommodations no later than the second week of class.    Internet and Email  All students are expected to have access to the Internet and have TWU email addresses in order to  contact the instructor and other students. BE SURE that you regularly check your TWU email address or  have it forwarded to your regular email address. Students MUST be certain that their email address on Blackboard is correct and functional. Data may be  sent by your professors via email, and you may miss important information if your email is not set up  properly.    Cell Phone Policy  Classroom disruption by cell phones and paging devices is prohibited.  A student facing the possibility of  receiving emergency calls may leave the device on silent or vibrate mode during class if he/she has  previously informed the professor.  Otherwise, all cell phones and pagers must be turned off at the  beginning of class.  Routine work‐related calls or personal calls from friends are not considered  emergencies.  Repeated violation of this policy is subject to dismissal or failure in the course.  Electronic devices utilized in a learning context, such as laptops and language interpreters, may be  permitted at the professor’s discretion.  A student may face a zero and/or failure in the class if an  electronic device is used for cheating during a test.      Examination Policy  Students are expected to take the final exam at the time stated in the published course schedule.      3

The Classroom          A  variety  of  assignments  and  learning  approaches  are  intended  to  help  you  develop  an  understanding  of  basic  accounting  information  and  its  uses.    Classes  will  include  lectures,  examples,  question  and  answer  sessions,  demonstration  problems,  and  practice  problems.    There  will  be  one  project/  paper,  two  exams,  attendance  and  participation.  The  in‐class  discussion  each  day  is prepared  with the assumption that you have read the information about the subject for the day and are prepared  for discussion and work on the material. We will cover as much information in class as we can.       Student Responsibility          Your  responsibilities  are  to  come  to  class  each  day  prepared,  read  all  assigned  materials  and  complete the required homework assignments by their assigned due dates.  Always be ready to discuss  the assigned materials and ask questions to clarify any parts of the material that you do not understand.            You are expected to take the exams on the dates scheduled and abide by academic honesty when  you take exams.      Study Time         EMBA  classes  are  designed  to  take  twice  as  much  time  OUTSIDE  of  class  as  in  class.    Three‐hour  graduate college classes normally have 45 class hours plus homework and outside work. With 24 in‐class  hours, the remaining time of 21 class hours plus all other work (usually three hours for each class hour  spent) must be done outside of class.  For some students, this is a class that requires significant outside  time.  Keeping up with the material covered is critical and will vastly improve your grade.  Your learning  experience will depend upon your efforts.    Group Studying / Missed Classes          You  are  strongly  encouraged  to  use  group  study  techniques.    Consider  working  with  various  members of your class when working on homework. If you have to miss class for any reason, you are  responsible to get any missed information from a classmate.  Because of the short time for the class and  the tenets of fairness, the instructor is unable to give private sessions to individual students.    Additional Help            Some limited additional help may be available from the Accounting Graduate Assistants. Further,  there  are  senior  accounting  majors  that  are  willing  to  serve  as  extra  tutoring  assistance.    Financial  statement analysis and cost accounting texts may be of assistance as well.  Call (940) 898‐2111 to ask for  the Accounting Lab hours. The lab number is (940) 898‐2484.    APA Format           The official form and style format for the School of Management is APA. All written assignments  must use appropriate APA format for citations, references, and other aspects of form and style. A short  APA Guide has been prepared by the SOM and it appears in the Course Modules section on Blackboard.    Syllabus Subject to Change          The data provided in this document is for information and planning only. The dates are subject to  change  based  on  the  material  covered  and  unexpected  circumstances  that  require  changing  the  schedule.       4

Academic Honesty          All students are expected to be academically honest.  Every effort will be made by your instructor  and  this  department  to  discourage  any  type  of  cheating.    This  includes,  but  is  not  limited  to,  printing  exam  questions  from  Blackboard;  sharing  data  with  other  students  about  exams;  using  unauthorized  books, notes, or otherwise securing help in a proctored or online test; printing out and/or copying tests,  assignments, reports, or term papers; collaborating, without authority, with another student during an  exam  or  in  preparing  academic  work;  signing  another  student’s  name  on  an  attendance  sheet;  or  otherwise  practicing  scholastic  dishonesty.  Awareness  of  academic  dishonesty  by  a  classmate  is  considered the equivalent of cheating unless it is reported.       Plagiarism  refers  to  representing  the  work  of  another  person  as  one’s  own  and  failing  to  use  proper  citations  when  using  another  person’s  work.    Graduate  students  should  know  well  what  constitutes  plagiarism. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT PLAGIARISM, YOU SHOULD WATCH THE FILM ONLINE  AT  THE  TWU  LIBRARY  WEB  SITE  ENTITLED  “AVOIDING  PLAGIARISM.”    THE  WEB  SITE  IS  http://www.twu.edu/library/.    Any  student  found  guilty  of  cheating  or  plagiarism  will  (at  a  minimum)  receive  an  F  in  the  course  and  could  be  expelled  from  the  University.    Another  god  resource  is  Doing  Honest  Work  in  College,  by  Charles  Lipson.    This  volume  is  in  paperback  and  costs  about$10.00.    The  book addresses most referencing methods.      To ensure the integrity of the academic process, Texas Woman’s University vigorously affirms the  importance of academic honesty as defined by the Student Handbook. Therefore, to detect and prevent  plagiarism, faculty members at Texas Woman’s University may now use a tool called ‘Turnitin’ to  compare a student’s work with multiple sources.  Turnitin reports a percentage of similarity to books,  journals and all items available online and provides links to those specific sources. This tool does not  determine whether or not a paper has been plagiarized.  Instead, judgment will be made by the  individual faculty member based upon the similarity of the data detected and the presence or absence  of proper citations.  All required assignments in this course may be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin.          Because of the importance of accounting and potential harm to those who rely upon accounting reports,  there is no place for anything less than absolute integrity in accounting.  Acts of plagiarism or cheating of  any kind in accounting classes will not be tolerated.  Severe sanctions will be given to any student who  does so, including but not limited to: a zero on a project or paper, an F in the class, academic probation  and possible expulsion from the University. If you have any concerns about what constitutes  plagiarism,  go to the TWU Library web site and watch the short film entitled "Avoiding Plagiarism."    YOUR Grades    You will earn your grades based on the following measures:                    Project/Paper         50 points        A = 90 ‐ 100%  Exam 1 – Chapters 1‐10      15 points          B = 80 ‐ 89%  Exam 2 – Chapters 11‐21      15 points         C = 70 – 79%  Attendance & Participation      20 points    D = 60 – 69%  Total points possible      100 points

It is reasonable to expect that A = 100 ‐ 90%; B= 89 ‐ 80%; C= 79 ‐ 70%; D=60 ‐ 69.  If averages fall below  the  norm,  student  grades  may  be  (but  very  unlikely)  ranked  in  order  from  highest  to  lowest  to  determine final grades.  Curves in the class are common but not assured.        Posting of Final Grades  Each faculty member has the right to post or not post final course grades for each class.  Final course  grades provided to a student by a faculty member may not be relied upon as official.  Students may  access their official final grades online.  According to FERPA, faculty may not provide final grade  information to students via telephone, email, posting or any other source which might compromise  student confidentiality.  Late Assignments  Late assignments will not be accepted.     Missing Classes, Exams, and Assignments    A  student  who  misses  a  class  or  assignment  will  be  assigned  a  grade  of  zero  unless  she  or  he  misses  due  to  an  acceptable,  documented  excuse  with  prior  faulty  approval.    A  student  with  an  acceptable, documented  excuse  will  be  allowed  attendance  points  or to  turn  in  an  assignment  late  as  long as the assignment is completed by a date acceptable by the professor.  Only partial credit will be  given in either case.      Generally,  there  are  no  makeup  exams.    If  a  student  misses  a  class  with  an  acceptable,  documented  excuse,  the  student  may  be  permitted  to  make  up  the  exam  at  the  convenience  of  the  professor/instructor. Since all students have work and family responsibilities, it is not acceptable to use  work or family issues as excuses, unless something happens on the day of the exam.  It is unfair to the  students taking the exams on time to give preferential treatment to students with common issues. I am  required to ask for documentation for all absences.   Acceptable excuses for missing a class or exam are:        1) Major illness or death of a close family member     2) Illness of the student or a dependent child that requires medical attention on the day of class    3) Out of town travel required by employer on the day of the missed class    4) Out of town trip required by scholarship obligations on the day of class    5) Out of town travel required as an elected officer of a recognized campus                   organization that occurs on the day of class    6) Observation of a recognized religious holiday                7) Other reasons ONLY with the permission of the instructor    Both of the exams are online, and students will be given a specific time during which they must take the  exam.  Students are expected to clear their schedule for the exam during this two‐hour period.    Returned Papers and Grades          Tests  and  papers  will  be  graded  as  soon  as  possible.    You  may  check  your  grades  online  on  Blackboard  as  soon  as  they  are  posted.    You  have  one  week  commencing  the  day  that  your  grade  is  posted  to  discuss  with  me  any  potential  questions  about  in  grading.    After  one  week,  the  papers  are  6

recycled and the grades stand without question.  Any makeup exams or late assignments will be graded  as the professor has time    Quality of Work/ TaskStream    Your goal is to improve knowledge and skills in this and all EMBA classes, a goal that cannot be  achieved without sufficient effort and a positive attitude. In BUS 5433, students are expected to show  master’s‐level  quality  in  writing  skills,  presentation  skills,  professional  decorum,  attendance,  thinking,  and  effort.    Know  in  advance  that  this  professor  expects  the  best  from  you,  knowing  that  you  will  respond  with  your  best.    Grades  will  reflect  poor  effort  and  lack  of  polish.    Have  papers  proofed  carefully, grammar checked for proper use, and show good organization in all work.  Put thought into  your work.  Pay attention and ask questions in class.  The paper assignment will be placed by you in your  E‐Portfolio.    Honor Code    By taking this course, you are subject to the expectations of the Honor Code.  You agree that you  will do all of your own work, write all of your own papers, take all of your own exams, never cheat, never  plagiarize  or  turn  in  anything  created  in  a  dishonest  manner.    Anyone  who  violates  this  code  will  be  subject to harsh sanctions up to receiving an F in the course and expulsion from the University.  If there  are any questions about the Honor Code, it is the student’s responsibility to ask for clarification.    BUS 5423 ‐ Auditing  Daily Class Schedule (9 AM – 4 PM with 1 hour for lunch) and Reading Assignments    Prior to class day 1, read Chapters 1‐10 in the course text and download all course material from the  course website on Blackboard located in the Course Modules section.  Become familiar with all the  course requirements cited in the course syllabus.  All course work must be submitted in Microsoft Word  2003 or 2007 formats.  No exceptions.  No zipped files.      Prior to class day 2, read  Chapters 11 ‐21 in the course text.  Exam 1 (take home) is due by email to the  professor by 5 PM Central U.S. Time on April 21, 2011.  The professor will  acknowledge receipt of his receiving your paper.  Keep this receipt as evidence  you timely submitted your paper. Late submissions will NOT be accepted.          Prior to class day 3, review all course work. Exam 2 (take home) is due by email to the professor by 5 PM  Central U.S. time on April 30, 2011.  The professor will acknowledge receipt of his receiving your paper.   Keep this receipt as evidence you timely submitted your paper.                                          Late submissions will NOT be accepted.    By May 7, 2011, by 5 PM Central U.S. Time, your research paper is to be submitted to the Professor by  email.  The professor will acknowledge receipt of his receiving your paper.  Keep  this receipt as evidence you timely submitted your paper.                                           Late submissions will NOT be accepted.      Research Paper Requirement – each student is required to submit a 3,000 word minimum (including  footnotes/endnotes) APA formatted research paper.  References are not included in the 3,000 word total.   7
