ACCT 460- Pinnacle Manufacturing Case Study

The purpose of the Pinnacle Manufacturing case study is to help you experience the auditing processes and concepts that we discuss in class. After you have completed the various stages of the Pinnacle Manufacturing Case Study and we have reviewed them in class, you should have a better understanding of how audits are planned and performed. Since it is a team learning task, you also should improve your abilities to work cooperatively, resolve conflicts, and manage team efforts so as to accomplish team goals.

You will form teams  of three to four people (of your own choice) during the second week of the term. The table below provides links to the pages with instructions, information, and links to the files that the teams need to complete parts 1-6 of the Pinnacle Manufacturing Case Study.

The assignments are due at the start of class on the scheduled due date. You must submit the materials listed in the Instruction Pages (links below).

Grading is based on:

  1. Your presence in class when we review the problem (no presence, no points)

  2. The completeness and accuracy of your submission

  3. The timeliness of your submission in the manner prescribed on the Instructions Pages.
