(Note: Format Used is Performance S.O.W. (Burt, Petcavage, Pinkerton, 2010). The reason that I chose the information that I did was because I have a brother in law who is an accountant, and he gave me a small bit of information over the phone as to how and what questions to ask myself to hence find out what answer I seek before writing out my S.O.W.

I had no clue how much an auditor made, but found a resource guide online that provided estimates, of pay in different states across the U.S., so I came up with a middle answer of 14 dollars an hour. Also, I found many examples as well as templates that show business, as well as students tricks and information that should never be left out on ones S.O.W. I looked and found that there are actually Laws on auditors, rather there are guidelines that reputable auditors follow. I feel this was a GREAT learning experience and I learned a great deal this week, as this hands on assignment made me feel like I have a business that I am shaping, and taking care of!
