Research Project: Accounting, Auditing & Organizational Design Impact

This project investigates the effect of accounting information and auditing on organizational design and its subsequent impact on individual and group behaviors within a retail organization. The research explores the relationship between accounting information systems, auditing practices, and organizational structure. The project includes research questions examining the connection between accounting information systems and organizational design, as well as the efficiency of these systems in work development. The research aims to understand effective information management, outlining objectives to assess accounting system management and organizational design. The project details data collection plans, including primary and secondary research methods, and emphasizes ethical considerations. The bibliography includes relevant articles from authors such as Collier, Givoly, and Simkin, supporting the project's focus on accounting, auditing, and organizational design.

Proposed Research Title:
The effect of accounting information and auditing on the design of organisation, and
on the ensuing behaviour of individuals and groups
Client Organisation (if applicable)
The client organisation would include the development of effective accounting system for entrapping the
management of the activities and formation of the specific work alignment, and development of the
improved activities. The organization selected would be a retail organization requiring the implication of
the standard works and the alignment of the facilities would be effectively aligned with the customer
eccentric operaitons. The management of the facilities would be supported by the inclusion of the factors
for the listing of the analysis of the work. The retail organization would involve the alignment with the
specific work development. The customers would get the benefit of aligning with the inclusion of the
successive work and activity development.
Research Background
According to Simkin, Norman and Rose (2014), accounting information and auditing on organizaitonal
deisgn would be related with the inclusion of the specific work management. The project research would
be implied with the formation of the analysis of the effective work development. The effective formation
of the accounting data analysis would be implied with the concentration of the alignment management.
The research analysis would be implied with the formation of the alignment of the works (Nallareddy and
Ogneva 2016). The integration has been aligned with inclusion of the listing work formation. The study of
the accounting information system would be aligned with the usage of the information and formation of
the effective work development. The research of the process of auditing the information management
work development. On the other hand Givoly, Hayn and Katz (2017), have stated that the effective
formation of the accounting data analysis would be implied with the concentration of the alignment
management. The research background would involve the development for the inclusion management.
The management would be aligned by the inclusion of the factors for the listing of the analysis of the
work. The retail organization would involve the alignment with the specific work development (Collier
2015). The customers would get the benefit of aligning with the inclusion of the successive work and
activity development. The accounting based analysis of the work would be included for the formaiton of
the successive and effective work development. The information development would be aligned with the
continuation of the factors for improvement.

Research Problem / Research Question
The research question aligned with the ‘The effect of accounting information and auditing on the design of
organisation, and on the ensuing behaviour of individuals and groups’. The research development had
been implied with the formation of the successive development model. The research proposal would be
aligned with the formation of the activities development. The following are the research questions for the
project,
What is the relation between the implication of the accounting information system and auditing the design
for the organization?
What is the efficiency of accounting information system for the development of the work implication?
Research Aim and Objectives
The research of the project of ‘The effect of accounting information and auditing on the design of
organisation, and on the ensuing behaviour of individuals and groups’ has been aligned with the
continuation of the alignment management. The research aims to understand the formation of the
effective information management. The research completion would be helpful for taking care of the
effective implication of the information development. The research analysis would be implied with the
formation of the alignment of the works. The integration has been aligned with inclusion of the listing work
formation. The study of the accounting information system would be aligned with the usage of the
information and formation of the effective work development. The research of the process of auditing the
information management work development. The research background would involve the development
for the inclusion management.
The objectives of the research of ‘The effect of accounting information and auditing on the design of
organisation, and on the ensuing behaviour of individuals and groups’ include,
To understand the concept of accounting system management for the organization for ensuring the
effective implication management
To observe the design of the organization and the inclusion of the facilities for the development

Data Collection Plan
2 | P a g e

The data collection can be both primary and secondary resulting on the basis of the factors for the
inclusion. The collection of the information would be aligned with the formaiton of the effective work
process development. The data collection plan would include the following steps,
Step 1: Topic Selection
Step 2: Methods of data collection (internet sources, and journals for secondary research and surveys
and questionnaire for primary research)
Step 3: Filtering data for redundancy or information gap
Step 4: Making database of the information collected
Ethical Consideration
The data collection must be disclaimed from copyright issues and should only used for study
purpsose. There are many scenarios when the data is misused for personal gain. The integrity of
the data and information must be kept static.
