A working paper is one in which tentative figures, memoranda, data, or analyses of accounts are set down during the conduct of a survey (as an audit) of a business.
The presentation of the document was done at the conference which was themed “Sustaining our Profession,” exploring opportunities for accounting and the academy to shape the future.
The feedback received at the conferences is currently being used to further refine the manuscript with the intention of having same published in a top-quality academic journal.
Dr Sukhai is also treasurer of the Guyana Cricket Board and sits on the Financial Management Committee of Cricket West Indies Inc. He also is an adjunct lecturer at the University of Guyana.
