Past Projects
- Applied Learning and Innovation Grant – Use of Interactive, Gamified and Immersive Videos for Auditing Education–
This project aims to provide students with more real-world experience relevant to audit practice through the use of interactive, branching and 360-degree videos. Branching story lines within an interactive decision-making video can be used to develop students’ ability in making professional judgement. Each short video segment along the path of the branching story line presents the students with decision points that auditors commonly face and subsequent choices of how to proceed. As each student makes decisions and proceeds along the story line, he or she creates a unique viewing and learning experience for him/herself. 360-degree videos provide students with realistic and immersive images and videos to help students to visualize what they can observe when they visit clients’ premises.
- The Singapore Directorship Report 2021–
This project was a collaboration between SIT, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Deloitte and Handshakes, supported by Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) and Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX). The report was launched at the SID Conference in November 2021.
- Audit Committee Study Report 2020–
