The course is designed to integrate the technical materials learned in performance measurement (financial and management accounting), assurance, tax, finance, information systems, and organizational effectiveness with the practical experience obtained by students to date. The primary objective of the course is to simulate real professional situations, giving students an opportunity to apply technical knowledge and professional judgement to such situations. Application skills will be developed through the use of case materials. An important secondary objective is to develop case writing skills and an approach to writing professional examinations. Given the structure of the MMPA program in response to changes in the CPA program, this course will have a greater emphasis on assurance.
