ACC-695 brings together the auditing (ACC-640) and information systems assurance (ACC-675/676/677) threads of the graduate accounting program into one seminar, requiring students to synthesize both traditions into integrated professional judgment.
Synthesizing two related but distinct threads
Traditional financial statement auditing and information systems assurance draw on related but genuinely distinct expertise, and ACC-695's seminar format is built around integrating both into a coherent professional perspective.
Seminar-based discussion and case analysis
As a seminar, the course emphasizes discussion-based engagement with complex, realistic cases that require applying both auditing and IT assurance judgment together, rather than a traditional lecture-and-exam structure.

Worked example: integrated judgment in a real case
- Traditional audit lens: Evaluating financial statement assertions and evidence
- IT assurance lens: Evaluating whether the underlying information system reliably produced that evidence
- Seminar synthesis: Reasoning through a case where both lenses matter together
- Lesson: ACC-695 exists specifically to build this integrated judgment, since real engagements rarely separate financial and systems considerations cleanly

Frequently asked questions
Real audit engagements increasingly require both kinds of judgment simultaneously — evaluating financial statement assertions and evidence while also assessing whether the underlying information systems reliably produced that evidence in the first place — and a professional strong in only one dimension provides an incomplete audit perspective. ACC-695's seminar format exists specifically to build the integrated judgment modern audit practice requires, bringing together threads that earlier coursework (ACC-640 for auditing, ACC-675/676/677 for systems assurance) developed somewhat separately.
Integrating two related but distinct professional judgment areas is best developed through discussing genuinely complex, realistic cases where both dimensions interact, rather than through separate lectures on each topic followed by a traditional exam testing recall. The seminar format lets students actively reason through ambiguous scenarios requiring both auditing and IT assurance judgment together, which is a closer approximation of the integrated professional judgment real audit engagements actually demand.
