The Internal Environment
Strategic Audit Report
You will continue to work on the SWOT analysis or identification of your strategic audit company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats by writing elements about the internal environment and its impact on your strategic audit company.
Section IV of the Strategic Audit Report will consist of multiple parts; however, for this module, you will work on three specific parts about corporate culture, marketing, and finance (next module you will work on the other parts of Section IV).
Parts of this module’s section will allow you to explore your company’s current corporate culture and marketing objectives; then you will create an Internal Factor Analysis Summary (IFAS) table for areas of strengths and weaknesses, and finally, you will create a financial data table or 10-K report.
Gaining a firm understanding of the environment currently existing in your company, how they market themselves, and their financial situation will enable you to see what they are doing correctly and what needs to be improved.
