The ACCT 332 Week 6 method, step by step
Read the article twice, differently
Read the article once for what it says and once for how it was done. On the second pass, note the design, sample, measures, analysis and any limitation the authors admit.
Describe before you judge
Give a short, exact summary first. If the description is wrong, every judgment after it is suspect, so check the numbers and terms against the article.
Appraise each part of the study
Work through the study section by section and ask the questions the course uses: is the design suited to the question, is the sample adequate, are the measures valid, do the results support the conclusions?
Name strengths as well as weaknesses
A critique is not a list of faults. Say what the study does well and why, then where it falls short and how much that matters to its usefulness.
Say what it means for practice
Finish by judging whether the findings are strong enough to use, and where. This is where the critique earns the analysis points in ACCT 332.
Keep to the length and format
Write in paragraphs, inside 600 to 800 words, with current APA citations. A critique that turns into a table or list usually loses its argument.

Choose an article that also serves your research paper, so the review deepens one of your paper's sources.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The study's strength is its data: it uses actual control deficiencies reported under SOX 404 rather than survey opinions. Its limitation is that only public companies report those deficiencies, so its findings may not apply to the small private firms many accountants serve.1
