The Strategic Audit Report will enable you to gain an understanding of a business's strategic position, financial posture, leadership team, the internal and external environment that impacts them, and corporate resources (which includes marketing, finance, human resources, information technology, and other elements).
Compile and submit all of the information for your report, which will then be implemented it into a formatted strategic audit plan to help identify issues that need to be corrected and provide a forward-thinking strategy that best meets the needs of the business.
Select a business to research and 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 research and material.
