Taking a Post-Graduate Course
1 Last year by the decision of the Scientific Council I took post-graduate courses to increase my knowledge in economics. I passed three entrance examinations – in History, English and the special subject. So now I am a first year post-graduate student of the Orenburg State University. I'm attached to the Statistics Department. In the course of my post-graduate studies I am to pass candidate examinations in philosophy, English and the special subject. So I attend courses of English and philosophy. I'm sure the knowledge of English will help me in my research.
2 My research deals with economics. The theme of the dissertation (thesis) is "Computer-Aided Tools for…". I was interested in the problem when a student so by now I have collected some valuable data for my thesis.
3 I work in close contact with my research adviser (superviser). He graduated from the Moscow State University 15 years ago and got his doctoral degree at the age of 40. He is the youngest Doctor of Sciences at our University. He has published a great number of research papers in journals not only in this country but also abroad. He often takes part in the work of scientific conferences and symposia. When I encounter difficulties in my work I always consult my research adviser.
4 At present I am engaged in collecting the necessary data. I hope it will be a success and I will be through with my work on time.
1.2.5 Read passage 2 and answer the following questions: What is the theme of your dissertation?
1.2.6 Read passage 3 and speak about your research adviser according to the following plan:
1 Doctor's degree. 2 Scientific publications. 3 Participation in the work of scientific conferences.
1.2.7 Inform your colleague:
a) what candidate examinations you have already passed;
b) what the theme of your dissertation is;
c) how many scientific papers you have published;
d) if you are busy with making an experiment.
1.2.8 Study the text below (work in pairs). One reads the text, another supervises; then post-graduate students change their parts
My research work
I’m an economist in one of the Belgorod auditing firms. My special subject is accounting. I combine practical work with scientific research, so I’m a doctoral candidate (соискатель).
I’m doing research in auditing which is now widely accepted in all fields of economy. This branch of knowledge has been rapidly developing in the last two decades. The obtained results have already found wide application in various spheres of national economy.

I’m intested in that part of auditing which includes its internal quality control. I have been working at the problem for two years. I got interested in it when a student.
The theme of the dissertation is “Internal quality control of audit services”. The subject of my thesis is the development of an effective internal quality control system for audit firm services.
I think this problem is very important nowadays as a major portion of public accounting practice is involved with auditing. In making decisions it is necessary for the investors, creditors and other interested parties to know whether the financial statements may be relied on. Hence there should be an internal control of auditing operations for insuring the fairness of presentation.
My work is both of theoretical and practical importance. It is based on the theory developed by my research adviser, professor S. Petrov. He is head of the department at the Belgorod State University. I always consult him when I encounter difficulties in my research. We often discuss the collected data. These data enable me to define more precisely the theoretical model of the audit internal quality system.
I have not completed the experimental part of my thesis yet, but I’m through with the theoretical part. For the moment I have 4 scientific papers published. One of them was published in the US journal.
I take part in various scientific conferences where I make reports on my subject and participate in scientific discussions and debates.
I’m planning to finish writing the dissertation by the end of the next year and prove it in the Scientific Council of the Belgorod State University. I hope to get a Ph. D. in Economics.
