Assurance and Attestation

Donald Schon - Reflection-on-action

For this module's group assignment section, we were required to apply the different Singapore Standard on Auditing (SSAs) in the case study we received for our group assignment.

It was difficult to apply the SSAs without regurgitating too much content from the SSAs itself. For this assignment, we had to ensure that minimal information from the SSAs is inputted in to allow the reader to understand our answers without us regurgitating too much content. It was difficult to strike a balance between these two. To tackle this issue, we ensure that fellow group members would proof read each other work and give constructive feedback. Hence, this allowed us to continuously improve our assignment based on our team members' feedback.

I learnt that it being able to critically evaluate another's work was important. By being able to review other's work meant that we had to understanding the accounting concepts and the SSAs used. It was also important to be able to accept other's feedback and work on the changes to ensure that the whole assignment would be more coherent and comprehensive to the readers.
