<strong>Capstone</strong> <strong>Component</strong> <strong>Two</strong>: <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Self</strong>-<strong>Assessment</strong><br />

Now that you have completed the three sets of tasks for S.N.H.U., LLC, you will write<br />

a professional self-assessment for the final component of your capstone. In this<br />

professional self-assessment, you will reflect on the capstone and your experience in<br />

the MS Accounting program as a whole. The professional self-assessment will serve<br />

as the formal introduction to your portfolio. This means that you should use the<br />

self-assessment as an opportunity to emphasize your strengths and employability. In<br />

addition, the professional self-assessment is an opportunity to explain how the<br />

portfolio artifacts that you developed showcase your superior accounting knowledge,<br />

skills, and expertise.<br />

●<br />

Remember that when prospective employers or admissions counselors view your<br />

portfolio, the professional self-assessment is the first thing they will see. It should be<br />

well organized, thoughtful, and effectively communicate your strengths in the field of<br />

accounting.<br />

●<br />

●<br />

Some of the issues that you could address in the final component of this capstone<br />

may include:<br />

●<br />

Ethics are a crucial component of the accounting profession. How can you relate<br />

ethics to your capstone and MS Accounting program experience? How can you<br />

maintain ethical principles in your future accounting career?<br />

●<br />

●<br />

What have you learned throughout the MS Accounting program and the capstone<br />

experience that prepares you for a job in an accounting firm or for further education?


●<br />

●<br />

How did you apply accounting best practices in your capstone experience?<br />

How will you apply what you have learned in the capstone and in the program to your<br />

future academic and/or professional life? In other words, how does this capstone fit<br />

intothe big picture of your academic and/or professional goals?<br />

●<br />

What unforeseen problems or obstacles did you encounter during your capstone<br />

experience? What challenges did you face? How did you address these?<br />

●<br />

Keep in mind that a client should be able to take your program and put it into practice without<br />

having to contact you to clarify what you intended by your recommendations or to explain<br />

parts of your program.<br />

Don't forget your explanation for WHY you listed and recommended what you did. Reference<br />

the concepts and theories covered in the course. Be sure to address why the program and<br />

exercises recommended are appropriate for the specific client given the clientÕs history,<br />

current abilities, and intended goal(s). For example: if you are developing a program for a<br />

beginner client without any resistance training experience, explain how your program<br />

addresses the lack of experience, initial need for foundational development, process by<br />

which you would safely progress the client, etc. Tying your program to course concepts is a<br />

critical component of your case study.<br />
