Purpose: This assessment is designed to allow students to research and analyse current social issues in accounting and evaluate their impact on various stakeholders. As a group assessment, it further develops students' team working skills.
Topic: A current Contemporary Issue in Accounting as advised by your lecturer.
Task Details: Groups are to research an ethical issue relating to a top 100 ASX listed corporation. As a result of their research, groups need to develop a video presentation that examines the complex issues and options available to the corporation and explaining the implications for various stakeholders in relation to their decision-making. The video presentation should conclude with supported specific recommendations as to how corporation's and their agents should proceed in light of the analysis.
Research requirements: Students need to support their analysis with reference from the text and minimum of ten (10) suitable, reliable, current and academically acceptable sources - check with your tutor if unsure of the validity of sources. Groups seeking Credit or above grades should support their analysis with increased number of reference sources comparable to the grade they are seeking.
Video Presentation: Using the course material with reference to group report content, groups are to present their analysis and findings/ conclusions in a professional 5 (five) minute video presentation. All group members must participate in the preparation of the video.
Presentations should be a critical analysis covering the main theory elements of the course - not just presenting a factual story - reference to corporate reports and other material is encouraged. Information can be covered in any order in the presentation, but should contain elements of the course.
It is strongly recommended that groups prepare their presentations well in advance of the presentation date, and make some effort to review their video presentation. This will improve the presentation overall, and give groups a chance to improve and time manage their presentations. Videos may be prepared using any available platform such as iMovie, Movie Maker, Prezi and others
