Project details.
The collection of data was made between the 3rd week of September until
the 2nd week of October. The method used for the study was replicated from
a past research and has also been approved by the advisor of the
researchers. The researchers have had prior experience with research and
among the researchers, some have already unpublished research. The
researchers were also supervised by a Certified Public Accountant who
specializes in the topic.
The data was collected from the accounting department of the large
enterprises during the specified period for data collection. The findings of the
research underwent a defense on the 3rd week of October. Once approved,
the research was submitted to the library of Xavier University for open access
to the public. The participants were notified firsthand about the findings of
the study as soon as it passed the defense.
Before beginning the survey, the companies were informed beforehand
about the study and were notified at least 3 days before with a notification
letter (see attachment). Each participant was given a form of consent and
fully informed about the research being conducted. The number of
participants surveyed was 40 and taken from the accounting department
with at least 1 head accountant and, if available, 1-2 staff accountants of the
large enterprises. The age range of the participants is 21 years old and above.
