The ACCT 660 Week 8 method, step by step
Set up the data before the write-up
Do the calculations first and check them. Interpretation built on a wrong figure loses more points than a missing paragraph.
Show the method
Say which method, formula or test you used and why it fits the question. Graders want to see that the choice was deliberate.
Report the results plainly
Give the key figures in a labeled table and mention each in the text.
Interpret in the context of the question
Translate the numbers into a conclusion about the question. Say what decision they support and how confident you can be.
Name the limits
State what the analysis cannot tell you: assumptions, data limits, or what would change the answer.
Submit the files the guide asks for
Check which files Canvas expects (spreadsheet, output, written document) and that each is complete and labeled (At least 1 page per chapter, double-spaced).
Add a short summary table at the end listing every test from the book, the data it needs and the fraud it detects. It turns the outlines into a quick reference for future work.
