Smith & Jones LLP: Charting a Path to the Future

Norman T. Sheehan

Accounting Perspectives, 2009, vol. 8, issue 2, 165-177

Abstract: This case requires accounting students to shift their focus from learning about the practice of auditing to learning about the business of auditing. It describes the strategy, vision, and mission of a medium‐sized, Canadian audit firm and the external and internal challenges the firm faces as it looks to improve its profitability. Students should reflect on which behaviors Smith & Jones would like to encourage and what the partners can do to encourage its employees to exhibit these behaviors.
