The report that you prepare should include an executive summary, a body of contents
covering points listed above, and a reference list. The word limit of this report is 2000 words
(excluding executive summary, references and appendix). The references should be done
using Harvard Style or ARA style. The reference list should provide all materials supporting
the report. Sections extracted from the annual report or AASB to support your report should
be included in the appendix. Remember to attach a link/copy of the financial report/statement
with your assignment. Also, provide specific page numbers of the annual report and
paragraph numbers of AASBs as in-text reference in your assignment. If you choose to
ignore this instruction, then you will lose marks.
Each student should choose a company that is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX)
and find an annual report for the 2013/2014 financial year. Remember to pick a complete
annual report, not a concise financial report or a half-year financial report.
To ensure your choice of a company does not duplicate one already chosen by other student,
they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. You may reserve a company by
adding a post on ‘Discussion Board’ under ‘Reserve a company here’. Write the name of the
chosen company in the description line of your post. If you add the company name in the
message and NOT in the description line, then the reservation is void because it will not be
readily visible to others.
Unless otherwise indicated, all assignments are to be submitted online via the link for Turnitin
assignment submission provided on the BB site. You must use the electronic Assignment Cover
Sheet provided, fill in details and then make this sheet the first page of your assignment. Do not
send it as a separate document. The file name should include (in order) your surname, your
student number and the name of the company you chose for your assignment. For example:
‘Parker1235456xyz'. Your assignments must be submitted as Word documents. If you wish to
submit in any other file format please discuss this with your lecturer before the assignment
submission date.
