COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The key purpose of the course is to complete and refine a research proposal, integrating the academic training of the
student and the accountants role in the society. This course is a both a group dynamic and a virtual workshop, involving
onerous review of literature and active inquiry and consultation with the students teachers-in-charge (TICs) and thesis
advisers. Although the primary purpose of this course is to prepare the students for the proposal and approval stage of
their research, the role of advisers is critical to the proposal. This course and the TICs are not substitutes for the direction
of the thesis advisers. It is the students responsibility to keep their thesis advisers informed as they develop their
proposal, through this course.
The primary instructional modalities in this course are lecture and self-directed study. Students will be assigned to groups
of 3-5 members each, for the purpose of developing a research proposal.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this course, students are expected to appreciate the general principles associated with the accountancy
profession especially in connection with the accounting / financial issues raised in their research paper.

Proposal Defense
* Consultation: The use of e-mail to communicate with the teachers-in-charge (TICs) is appropriate for messages and for short points of clarification. For discussion
purposes, students need to meet with their respective TICs face-to-face when possible, or failing that in a telephone conversation. Make an appointment for discussion. For
review of written reports, bring the report (as well as the latest commented copy) to the consultation.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Submit Concept Paper(s) (template on Appendix A) on or before date (day). A concept paper is a brief summary describing what is known about your research topic and what
you believe needs to be known next. This should be based on a critical analysis of at least two (2) studies related to your research topic.
2. Once a topic is approved, submit the Advisers Consent Form, signed by chosen adviser, together with the list of your group members and the working title of your thesis.
A statistician is optional at this point. Students may choose to consult with a statistician for the proposal, or may opt to consult with one during the ACCTHES2 course.
3. Submit a preliminary draft Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 (follow guidelines on Appendix B) on or before date (day).
4. Submit a preliminary draft Chapter 3 (follow guidelines on Appendix B) on or before date (day).
5. Submit the revised or Final Draft of the research proposal (Chapters 1 to 3 following guidelines on Appendix B) a week before the proposal defense.
6. All reports must be typed (1.5 lines spaced, with 1.25 margins above and left, 1.00 margins right and below, using 11 point font and Times New Roman typeface). Follow
the cover page template on Appendix C.
7. Punctual submission of research output is expected. Late papers will lose 10 points for every day, or part of a day, they are late.
8. Strict compliance with the student manual / school policies will be observed.
