RPA is one area of digital transformation that currently impacts on the required skills and competencies of accountants and auditors.
Construct objective(s) of your assignment using the above theme (important note: your objectives should be different from your classmates). Discuss the skills and competencies that accountants and/or auditors required for digital transformation focussing on RPA. Your objectives must be supported by at least ten (10) journal articles. Please use the database PROQUEST found in the Curtin Library Information Systems which Curtin students can legally use.
In Stage 1 of your assignment, select at least ten (10) or more academic journal articles (ie not professional articles, book, webpages etc) to help you to construct an objective or objectives guided by the above theme. Then describe how the findings of your selected journal articles that you have selected will support your objective(s) or otherwise. Further, in Stage 1 of your assignment, describe what you need and how you would construct a video presentation In this STAGE, please focus on what you will use eg location, software, editing, subtitles and etc for the construction of the video in Stage 2 of the assignment.
The comments and/or issues given by the marker in your Stage 1 should be noted or remedied in order to get better marks for Stage 2. The same marker will mark both stages.
Succinctly, Stage 1 of the assignment is a proposal to complete Stage 2. In Stage 1, objectives are defined and journal/academic article abstracts and/or contents are used to justify how the objectives can be achieved.
In Stage 2, the journal articles in the reference list (you may add more journal articles and this is perfectly normal when doing research) are synthesized/dissertated and the facts are used to discussed how the objectives are achieved. Do NOT discuss one abstract at a time. The video presentation points out the main facts (from the journal articles) used to achieve the research objectives.
Please note that the effort you put in when finalising your journal articles in stage 1 will help you significantly when completing Stage 2. That is, stage 2 will depend on what you have discussed in stage 1 and finally, the video presentation is simply pointing out the main facts discussed in stage 2.
