The auditors initial experiences

• In Event: Emerging Research Discussion Session II

Abstract

My developing research project encompasses two auditors in their first positions at regional CPA firms. We have documented the first three months of each auditor's experiences, trainings, CPA exam studying, and site visits. Each had different experiences. One was focused in the auditing of manufacturing and private organizations and preparing corporate tax returns. The other was trained to perform audits at educational institutions and not-for-profits. All data has been collected and the writing stage has begun.

There are some issues that we would like to flesh out with the main one being whether to write one paper encompassing both experiences or to split the experiences into a series of articles, i.e. the first two weeks, then the whole three months for either both or each individually.
