This module week starts the planning of your Strategic Audit Report. The Strategic Audit Report will enable you to gain an understanding of a business’s strategic position, financial posture, leadership team, internal and external environment that impacts them, and corporate resources (which include marketing, finance, human resources, information technology, and other elements).

In Module 9, you will compile and submit all of the information for your report, which will then be implemented into a formatted final strategic audit report.

Select an Aviation or Business related organization to research and then write an introductory overview to use as part of the strategic audit report that you will create throughout the term. Do not use an organization you have researched in another course; use only original researched material.

It is recommended you select a publicly traded company (one that sells stocks) for your strategic audit company. Public traded companies are required to make all of their financial information and board of directors’ information available to the general public, which makes it easier for you to collect the data needed for your strategic audit report.

Your Introduction overview should include the following:

• The name of your business.
• History and background of the business.
• Detail of what the business does and who its target audience is.
• Use a minimum of two (2) outside sources .
