3 strategic audit report rubric criteria ratings pts W r i t i n g

Hello,

Here are the instructions for this assignment:

You will write the Executive Summary section or the beginning of your
Strategic Audit Report. The opening section of your audit report can
easily be the most important part of the audit, can grab a reader’s
attention, and keep it throughout if written correctly; while a poorly
written one can leave the reader guessing and confused. So, as you
complete this section be descriptive, detailed, and use well-written
language.

Provided are the guidelines to complete this section:

Write a summary of your strategic audit report.

This section should be a review of the strategic audit’s findings.
It is not to be a history of the firm, or what the firm does (you have
already written this in the 1.5 – Strategic Audit Report: Select a Company and Introduction Overview (PLG1) assignment).
It should be an overview of what is contained in the Strategic Audit Report and the findings.
The Executive Summary is meant to sell your strategic report to your reader.

This section should be one (1) full page in length.
The document should be double-spaced, with sources cited and referenced using current APA formatting, where applicable.

Save your assignment using a naming convention that includes your
first and last name and the activity number (or description). Do not add
punctuation or special characters.

Your paper will automatically be evaluated through Turnitin
when you submit your assignment in this activity. Turnitin is a service
that checks your work for improper citation or potential plagiarism by
