effect of tax aggressiveness on audit quality
Paper details
(2) Research Project (15 percent)
As part of the course requirements, you are required (in groups of 3) to
prepare a research project. The objective of this project is to
strengthen your communication, writing, and presentation skills much
needed in the modern business environment. The project topic should be a
tax-related topic of your choice (e.g., history of US taxation,
comparative tax research, internal administration of Egyptian tax
authority/IRS, taxation of electronic commerce transactions, etc.).
Additional suggested research topics will be given in the first day of
classes. The topic you choose must be approved by the instructor. The
project consists of three parts:
The Research Proposal/Progress Report (See assigned date on course schedule)
The research proposal is a 2-page write-up that identifies the group
topic and some of the articles/references that will be used in your
research. The proposal will explain what the group intends to do with
respect to the research project.
The Research Report (See assigned date on course schedule)
Each group will submit a 10-page typewritten report. LATE SUBMISSIONS
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. The report is basically a literature review on the
topic selected. The format and structure of your report should comply
with the Chicago Manual of Style. The report will be graded on scope of
the topic, depth of analysis, and credibility of your
sources/references. All members of the group will receive the same group
report score. Material for the group research report should come from a
minimum of 12 articles (per group) from one or more of the following
suggested sources:
• Journals and Magazines: Accounting Horizons, Business Today, Corporate
Taxation, CPA Magazine, Journal of Accountancy, Journal of Taxation,
Journal of International Taxation, Practical Tax Strategies, Real Estate
Taxation, Valuation Strategies
• Websites: taxsites.com, taxworld.org, internationaltaxreview.com, aaahq.org
First page of the research report should contain (1) the title of the
research report, (2) names of team members, (3) course code and title
(ACCT 402 Special Topics in Tax Accounting), and (4) submission date.
Second page should include a 150-word executive summary/abstract
providing the topic, method of research, and brief findings. The third
page should feature a paginated table of contents. The fourth page
starts the body of your report with an “Introduction” section, which
contains a 2-page lengthier discussion of the same elements in your
executive summary. The final page in your report should contain a
listing of the references you used to write your report, written
according to the Chicago Style or a similar style.
The Research Presentation (Presentations week: See assigned date on course schedule)
The research presentation will be conducted by all members of the group.
You must use visual aids, including Microsoft PowerPoint slides. Each
group presentation will take 20-30 minutes, during which group members
will highlight the main points of the research paper in the final
presentation and be ready to take questions.
