The auditor will link each objective to a methodology so that there is strong evidence to back up their findings. Examples of methodologies include sampling, observations, interviews, and fluctuation analyses. Link the Method to Cost: Once the auditor has decided on the methods, the auditor will...
This study has been conducted using realist methodology and as such is theory driven. Quantitative data provided contextual information such as the resources used, and activities undertaken as well as the perceived outcomes of the audit. Qualitative findings have expanded upon the proposed contextual fe...
The methodology and results sections require the reader to undertake a critical appraisal of sampling and recruitment strategies. This includes, where appropriate, whether the correct calculation has been made to ensure sufficient subjects were entered, the “power calculation,” to provide meaningful res...
