Q11. Read the attached article, published by AccountingWeb, in Appendix A about Tesco plc, a UK supermarket chain with interests throughout Asia, and read Note 12 to the financial statements on Property, Plant and Equipment.

You have been approached by a client who has invested in Tesco plc and is concerned by the disclosures. Write a report to your client, using the relevant accounting standards, identifying and explaining the sections that apply to the disclosed accounting treatment and explain in detail how and why they apply.

Your client is confused by the term "kitchen sinking" which applies in the UK. You have been advised that in Australia it is known as "taking a big bath." Conduct research to explain what these terms mean and place this explanation in the context of impairment testing and how this may have been employed in the case of Tesco plc.

In your answer pay strict attention to referencing with respect the accounting standards and the paragraphs contained therein that you have quoted and the websites visited quoting the website and the times of access.

Your report should be written as a business report with an executive summary, an introduction, the main findings, a conclusion and references. Marks will be awarded to reflect presentation, business English, content and referencing. (see CDU Report Format in Assessment Area) (50 marks)
