Student‐written Case Studies: The Benefits to the Internal Audit Curriculum

Abstract

Examines the usefulness of the case study method in the college classroom. Advocates the preparation of these cases from real‐life situations and their subsequent discussion. Suggests that this approach capitalizes on the strengths of analysing internal audit cases, and reveals some of the drawbacks of case studies. Analyses the advantages and disadvantages of the case study method. Concludes that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
