¶ … Speech Outline
Annette Marquez
Organization:
Accounting Firm
Audience analysis:
My audience includes both male and female. They range in age from 26 to 42. They are family members who know very little about accounting and even less about auditing. They have mixed religious beliefs.
Modern professions demand too much from a person very often. The profession of the auditor is such that examines the ethical and professional standards of the organization.
Rhetorical Purpose:
To inform the audience about the profession of being an auditor.
Redemptive Purpose:
To inform my audience how an Auditor's vocation can serve as a platform for promoting the following: God's rightful authority over all things, the truth, human life as well as any other form of life on the Earth, justice and mercy, honesty and self-control, church and personal property rights, our love and true compassion to other people. As the apostle Paul proclaimed to the Colossians in his instructive word, "…whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father…" (3:16-17).
Introduction:
I. Attention-getter
Ethical and professional standards should be guided by the standards of God and his expectations of a Godly man.
II. Motive for Listening
Our life is full of miracles and new opportunities, though often we do not even notice them, and they wistfully leave our days for good. Life itself is a marvelous gift and proof of God's boundless and eternal love for every human being. It is quite simple, when I follow his guidelines, I can promote not only my own trust but also help people realize this truth. God has set out standards for the ethical treatment of others. As an auditor, I have the chance to assist companies, individuals and potentially the state and local agencies in maintaining honesty and integrity in their business processes and operations.
III. Credibility Statement
Upon the basis of the research I have participated in I believe I have an obligation to share the information I have gained on the professional auditor's role in maintaining organizational ethics and professional standards.
IV. Purpose or Thesis Statement
My speed will infrom you about the role and responsibilities of the professional auditor and as well my speech will inform you about what being an auditor means to me personally.
Preview Statement
I will inform you about the requirements of being an auditor and the role and responsibilities of a professional auditor and how a professional auditor promotes something of value to God. I want to emphasize the following crucial aspects in my speech: how to promote authentic love, faith, defense of welfare and honesty in the process of an accountant's or auditor's professional activity.
Body:
I. Main Point 1. Everything you do should be done exclusively on the behalf of authentic love for God -- otherwise nothing, even successfully performed, will ever matter.
A. An example can be observed in Micah's words: "He has told you, human one, what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). This quotation shows the proper way to serve God, and it is impossible without the authentic love for Him.
B. The work of the auditor/accountant is based on serving the purposes of others. It is impossible to serve people in a proper way without love for human beings as God teaches us: "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another" (Romans, 12:10). Still it is impossible to love others without authentic love for God as only this love teaches us to truly promote the values God appreciates and gives us the right to make this promotion. As Varney (2012) emphasizes, a person should love what God loves as a human being has been created in His own image.
II. Main Point 2. Promotion of God's ethical and professional standards in every step of one's path and ultimately promoting faith in God's standards for living and interacting with others in business. .
A. "By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks" (Hebrews, 11).
