1. Case analysis

Due: Week 8

Weighting: 30%

Students are required to analyse and provide solutions to a number of case scenarios. These scenarios are similar to the in-class exercises that students will attempt during weekly tutorials. Please note that solutions to these in-class exercises will only be provided during tutorial time and will not be published on iLearn. Therefore it is strongly recommended that students attend all tutorials. The case analysis report must be submitted to Turnitin via the provided link on iLearn BEFORE 11.55 pm Friday 19 Sept 2025 (Week 8).

2. Report and Presentation

Due: Weeks 9 and 10

Weighting: 40%

Students will be allocated to groups during Week 3 tutorial. Students who fail to arrange group membership by Week 5 will NOT be eligible to take part in this assessment task.

This assessment consists of two components:

1. Written Research Report (20% - group mark) Students are expected to write a research report based on the requirements outlined in the “Group Research Report Requirements” published on iLearn. The electronic version of each group’s report must be submitted to Turnitin (plagiarism detection software) via the provided link on iLearn BEFORE 11.55 pm Friday 10 Oct 2025 (Week 9). Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be penalised, so it is in student’s best interests to submit their own original work. Only one submission per group is permitted, so members within groups must agree on who will submit their report. Marks and feedback on the written report will be available through Turnitin on iLearn by the end of Week 12.
2. Research Report Individual Presentation (20% - individual mark) Each student is required to record their presentation and submit the recording via the provided link on iLearn BEFORE 11.55 pm Monday 13th Oct 2025 (Week 10). The presentation will be on each student’s respective contribution to the group’s research report and will allow the tutor to evaluate individual performance in the research project. Students are required to read the instructions on individual presentation published on iLearn. Marks and feedback on the presentations will be provided to individual students by the end of Week 13.

3.Test

Due: Week 13

Weighting: 30%

The class test will be conducted during Week 13 tutorials.

Please note that the class test will be closed book and held on-campus during your scheduled tutorial time. The test may comprise multiple-choice, discussion and problem- solving questions. Further information will be provided via iLearn. No extension will be granted, except for cases in which an application for Special Consideration is made and approved. A mark of zero will be awarded for non-submission.

Late Assessment Submission Penalty

Unless an application for Special Consideration has been submitted and approved, a 5% penalty (of the total possible mark) will be applied each day a written assessment is not submitted, up until the 7th day (including weekends). After the 7th day, a grade of ‘0’ will be awarded even if the assessment is submitted. Submission time for all written assessments is set at 11.55pm. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical concern. For any late submissions of time-sensitive tasks, such as scheduled tests, exams, performance assessments, and/or scheduled practical assessments/labs, students need to submit an application for Special Consideration.

Prescribed Textbook

Management Accounting: Information for Creating and Managing Value By Kim Langfield-Smith, David Smith, Paul Andon, Ronald Hilton, and Helen Thorne, 9th edition 2021, McGraw-Hill

Additional required readings will be made available via Leganto (access link is provided in iLearn).

Students should attend three hours of teaching per topic consisting of a 1.5-hour lecture and a 1.5-hour tutorial. Weekly lectures are critical to students' learning in this unit. The lectures provide a general overview of the topics, highlighting the important concepts and techniques. Examples that are critical to the core themes of the course and reference to real-life examples are also discussed in the lectures to assist students in the application of the conceptual frameworks. Lecture notes will be made available on iLearn prior to the lectures.

Tutorials constitute a critical learning experience of this unit, including a highly student-centred discussion of answers to pre-tutorial homework questions, and additional in-class exercises.

Active participation in tutorials will assist students in developing problem-solving, critical, analytical, and integrative thinking skills. Before attending the tutorial, students should have: (1) undertaken the required readings outlined in Unit Schedule; (2) attended/listened to the lecture; (3) completed the homework questions; and (4) read the relevant Case Study chapter in order to attempt the in-class exercises. Solutions to homework questions will be published on iLearn, while solutions to in-class exercises will only be discussed in tutorials. Please note that the in- class exercises will help you prepare for the Case analysis assessment.
