While still an undergraduate, I completed a master’s-level course titled "Audit and Corporate Governance" (A575), which involved a rigorous audit project for Casey General Store. This project required me to analyze risks, develop an audit program, complete finding worksheets, and prepare a comprehensive audit report. This hands-on project was demanding and rewarding, providing deep insights into audit processes and corporate governance.

Summary: The project encompassed several key components, described in detail below the respective documents.
Reflection: While this project involved considerable effort, I found it immensely rewarding. This class has become one of my favorites, and I appreciate that the professor selected Casey's General Store, as it challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and gain a deeper understanding of the company. This experience will significantly benefit my future career by enhancing my knowledge of audit processes and corporate governance. The skills I developed, particularly in risk analysis, internal controls, and audit program development, are essential for roles in auditing and compliance. These competencies will enable me to assess financial risks, implement robust internal controls, and design comprehensive audit programs, making me a valuable asset to any audit team.
