Course Objectives
Learning Objectives/ Assessment Methods: This course utilizes a semester long tutorial to examine the
implementation and application issues of Quickbooks. The project is designed to bridge the gap between
students’ knowledge of a paper-based accounting system and a computer-based accounting information system.
The second component of the course is a review of AIS topics covered on the CPA Exam. A third component of
the class is a research paper on an AIS topic.
Upon completion of this course students will have:
1. Gained factual knowledge (terminology, classifications, methods, trends) about auditing, such as:
 the content of professional auditing standards and auditing procedures.
2. Learned to apply course material about auditing (to improve thinking, problem solving and decisions),
such as:
 applying professional auditing and accounting standards to audit and accounting situations involving
issues as addressed in case studies and research quizzes.
3. Developed specific skills, competencies, and points of view needed by audit professionals, such as:
 professional skepticism, an essential point of view needed as an auditor, and
 developing professional writing and oral communication skills regarding the analysis and evaluation of
audit situations, requirements, arguments and points of view.
4. Learning how to find and use resources for answering questions or solving problems, such as:
 learning how to research professional auditing and attestation standards.
SPECIFIC STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The primary specific objectives of ACC6303.
The AICPA has developed a framework of core competencies for those entering the accounting profession. These
competencies are grouped into Personal, Broad Business, and Functional Categories. Feel free to visit this link
for more detail and discussion of these categories and competencies within each category.
Whereas the Personal and Broad Business Competencies apply to all business courses (for example, the personal
competency of communication skills), Functional Competencies are more course-specific. The functional
competencies are used by the Department of Accounting to assess student learning outcomes and determine
future courses of action for ensuring students obtain the functional competencies.
\

This course will place a major emphasis on helping students acquire and develop three specific AICPA
Functional Competencies, which are briefly described in the table below. These competencies will be formally
assessed this semester, as also briefly described in the table below.

Grading Policies
This course employs the following to measure student learning.
Requirement % of Course Grade
Written Submissions of responses to assigned questions for cases from Contemporary 25%
Auditing case book and other case materials distributed by the professor (responses are
prepared outside of class before the class period in which the case will be discussed)
Some assigned questions will be worth more points than others based on the required amount of
research to complete. Any point differential above the normal will be identified at the time
questions are assigned
Participation in class discussion of materials from case book, other cases, professional 5%
standards, training, etc.
Gleim Subunit AudioVisual Questions 5%
Gleim Study Unit Quizzes 10%
Gleim Online CPA Review - Simulations 10%
Gleim Online CPA Review – Block Quizzes 25%
Final Exam 20%

Angelo State University employs a letter grade system. Grades in this course are determined on a percentage
scale:
A = 90 – 100 %
B = 80 – 89 %
C = 70 – 79 %
F = 69 % and below.
Response Time: Exams will normally be returned by the nest class period. Response to emails will normally be
within 24 hours Monday through Friday.
Missed/Late Work: Late work for quizzes and written questions will not be accepted. Assignments will be
assessed a 10% per day late penalty. SUA assignments must be completed by the assigned due dates.
Written Submission to Cases: The AICPA Core Competency Framework states the following under expected
Personal Competencies:
Communication - Accounting professionals are called upon to communicate financial and non-financial
information so that it is understood by individuals with diverse capabilities and interests. Individuals entering the
accounting profession should have the skills necessary to give and exchange information within a meaningful
context and with appropriate delivery. They should have the ability to listen, deliver powerful presentations and
produce examples of effective business writing.
Students will be required to prepare written responses, outside of class, to cases assigned in the case book, as well
as other case materials provided by the professor. The schedule for the class shows which cases are assigned for
which class periods. Students will also be required to discuss in-class responses to assigned questions as well as
the content, facts, issues, etc. regarding the assigned cases as a whole.
Student preparation for a case will, therefore, consist not only of reading and studying the case in order to prepare
written responses but also to prepare to discuss in class the overall case. Students will be asked to respond to
questions in class that address issues in the case.
For all case assignments, students will be expected to understand the facts in the case, the pertinent professional
standards and considerations, and the auditing and accounting issues raised by the case. Students are to analyze
these factors and develop opinions regarding these issues as they relate to the case being examined. Students will
present these factors in either written or oral form, but in either situation, this is a student’s means of
demonstrating to the professor that the student has done the work, comprehended the issues, and developed
 Spring 2017
opinions, thereby forming the grade earned on each assignment. If a student performs poorly or below standard,
then the student will receive a poor or substandard grade on the assignment.
Not all assigned questions for any given case will be collected for grading. Students will not know which
assigned questions will be collected and graded and which will only be discussed in class. Therefore, it is
incumbent upon students to prepare responses to each assigned question as if it were to be collected for grading.
This means not only that maximum effort be given in the content preparation of the response but also the
necessity that students strictly follow the written submission guidelines found in Appendix A: Instructions for
Written Submissions. Failure to meet those guidelines will result in a zero score on all submitted answers.
Students are expected to reference all materials such as Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs) for SAS
number and AU topic, section, sub-section, paragraph; etc. in preparing responses to cases. Because this is a
graduate course of the MPA program, students are expected to demonstrate their overall knowledge of financial
accounting, taxation, cost accounting, and other areas of study within the program.
Submission Deadlines and Missed Submissions: If a student is not in attendance in class when a written
submission is collected (this includes arriving late after submissions have been collected), then the student will
not be allowed to submit unless the student has a University approved excuse. If the student does not have a
University approved excuse, the student will receive a grade of zero for each question that had been collected.
The lowest grade for a written submission response worth 10 points will be dropped when determining a
student’s course letter grade. If there is a failure to submit a written submission response worth 10 points and
the student does not have a University approved excuse, the zero received will be the grade that is dropped.
This component of the course is worth 20% of the final letter grade.

Participation/Absenteeism: As noted previously, the AICPA Core Competency Framework expects

individuals entering the accounting profession to have strong communication skills, which includes interpersonal
or oral skills.
Each student is expected to contribute to the discussion of course material in each class session. Students will be
asked to provide oral responses to questions from the facts, issues, professional standards, etc. from the content of
the case book assignments and other materials.
This aspect of the course is not intended to “embarrass” students; rather, verbal communication skills and the
ability to "think on one's feet" are essential to being successful business professionals.
As referred to previously, a student turning in a written submission along with another student but not being
prepared for class discussion of the case will be viewed as a sign that the student did not provide significant input
on what was turned in. Class participation grades for both students will be significantly reduced as a result.
Missing class without a University approved excuse will result in a reduction of a student’s class participation
grade.
This component of the course is worth 5% of the final letter grade. Every student has valuable insights that
can aid other students in achieving course learning objectives. For this reason, this component of the course is
worth a single letter grade when determining the final letter grade of the course.
Grading Criteria for Written Submissions and Class Participation: Written/oral responses to assignments
/questions will be graded using the following grading scheme:
Outstanding 100% of possible points
Very Good 90% of possible points
Good 80% of possible points
Average 70% of possible points
Marginal 50% of possible points
No submission, incorrect format, or no oral response 0% of possible points
Submissions and class contributions will be evaluated by the professor based on the standards of performance
expected for a graduate student and the level of effort and knowledge expected of a beginning member of the
profession. A student’s level of effort, degree of understanding, accuracy of response, and clarity/appropriateness
 Spring 2017
of written submissions will be evaluated in determining a student’s grade. Submissions will also be evaluated in
comparison to submissions of the other students in the class.
Grammar and spelling are aspects of clarity. Poor writing cannot be evaluated separately from content. Poorly
written answers will result in poor grades.
Submissions are a student’s opportunity to demonstrate how much a student knows and how much work
has put into the activities of the class. Submissions are not simply paperwork exercises and should not be
approached as such. As a graduate capstone course, an expected level of performance will be applied
accordingly.
Grades on written submissions will be provided on a case by case basis throughout the semester, while a
single grade for class participation will be determined and provided at the end of the semester.

Gleim CPA Review: For most weeks throughout the semester, students will complete multiple choice quizzes,
and task-based simulations on the Gleim CPA Review Online. One Study Unit (SUs) is assigned to be completed
outside of class most weeks. See the class schedule for assigned SUs by week.
Gleim Subunit AudioVisual questions, SU review quizzes, simulations, and block quizzes are not disjointed
activities from other aspects of this course, in particular, cases. Material in SUs will lend itself to appreciating the
value of cases, such as for the same or later class period. Likewise, material in cases will lend itself to
appreciating the value of material SUs, such as for the same or later class period. Recognize and leverage this
relationship to enhance performance in the course.
The best way to prepare for Gleim simulations and block quizzes is to follow the study elements of the Gleim
Online, Multiple-Choice Quiz #1, Audiovisual Presentation, True/False Study Questions, Knowledge Transfer
Outline, and Study Unit Review Quizzes. Thoroughly read and study assigned material and complete an
appropriate number of study sessions using the Gleim Online for the assigned SU
Study Subunit AudioVisual Questions: After watching the Gleim Online audiovisual presentation for a subunit,
complete the three question quiz located under the Assessment Quizzes tab. Each Study Unit contains from three
to eight subunits. This component of the course is worth 5% of the final letter grade.
Study Unit Quizzes Once every Study Unit Review Quiz is complete with an 87% score or higher, you will
receive 100% of the points. This component of the course is worth 10% of the final letter grade.
Gleim Online CPA Review – Simulations: The Auditing section of the CPA exam requires candidates to take a
seven-part task-based. Each simulation quiz will consist of ONE task based on material from the SUs assigned
for that class period.
One particular type of task that is part of the seven-part task-based simulation on the CPA exam involves
researching professional auditing standards and identifying the applicable standard for a given situation.
Candidates are given the ability to use the standards on ANY tab. Because of the importance of this type of task,
approximately half the simulation quizzes will be in the format of a research task. The schedule identifies which
simulation quizzes will involve a research task.
Preparation for simulation quizzes involves reading and studying the SU textbook material, study session
answers. The Gleim system allows each SU simulation may be attempted 3 times. I will average the first two
attempts to determine your simulation grade.
If a student misses a simulation quiz because of a University approved excuse, the student will make up the quiz
at a time and place convenient to the professor – else a zero will be recorded for the missed simulation.
There are 14 simulation quizzes scheduled for the semester. The lowest simulation quiz grade will be dropped
when determining a student’s course letter grade. If there is a failure to take a quiz and the student does not have
a University approved excuse, the zero received will be the grade that is dropped.
This component of the course is worth 10% of the final letter grade.
Gleim CPA Block Quizzes: You will only be allowed one attempt for each of the Block Quizzes. Each Block
Quiz will consist of twenty questions over the entire block. Block quizzes are 45 minutes and must be completed
with a two hour time period (we will set a day/time once classes have started).
 Spring 2017

This component of the course is worth 25% of the final letter grade.
Final Examination: A final examination will consisting of 75 multiple choice questions from all Gleim SUs
assigned during the semester. You must have completed all the Block Quizzes before you will be allowed to take
the Final Exam. The Final Examination will, of necessity, be cumulative in that auditing is not a
compartmentalized activity.
This component of the course is worth 20% of the final letter grade.
Course and University Policies
