Research Assignment:

A. Review current AASB framework which is also known as “Framework for the Preparation
and Presentation of Financial Statements” and provide a critical analysis of different
measurement bases using the research literature.

B. Identify two publicly listed Australian companies from two different industries. Review
their annual reports for the reporting year 2014. Compare the measurement methods
used in each company’s financial report. Discuss if measurement methods used
between the two companies are consistent with the measurement bases prescribed
under the IASB (International Accounting Standard Board) Framework.

C. Explore the relationship between accounting information and market reaction with
reference to the fair value using the relevant research literature.

The following matters should be given particular attention:

Assignment is due in the lecture week beginning (Wk. 9).

1. Evidence of extensive research beyond the prescribed texts is required.


Ensure these are referenced appropriately in your references using
Harvard referencing.

2. Students should use research databases available through the university’s


library.

3. Assignment must be typed and properly documented.


Students must submit both printed copy and electronic copy of assignment
through Web-CT turnitin. Assignment should be no greater than 2000
words double-spaced with a 3cm left margin. A word count must be displayed
on the title page of assignment. (Note: Word count does not include abstract,
graphs, tables, and references).

Warning: Failure to submit identical printed and electronic copies of


assignment through Vu Collaborate will result in a fail grade and where
student’s printed copy of submitted assignment is different from
Turinitin electronic copy of the assignment then only Turnitin
assignment will be marked.

documentation prior to the due date. An application for an extension must use
an application for extension of assessment form, submit an application on or
before a due date to unit coordinator, be accompanied by a medical certificate
or similar evidence, be accompanied by any work completed to date.

Note: Poor organisation and work commitments are not grounds for an
extension. Students’ are responsible to protect their work and save data
by making necessary backup. Therefore, loss of data due to computer or
storage devices problems will not be considered a valid reason for an
extension.

before the due. It will count 20% towards the final mark.

6. Recommendation: Students can submit their completed assignment or


partially completed assignment through Turnitin at least five days before the

opportunity to students to withdraw their assignment before the due date and
resubmit it before the due date after removing similarities and avoiding
plagiarism. Remember you cannot withdraw your assignment after the due
date.

7. Any assignments handed in late without prior permission of the lecturer/tutor


will be penalised 2 (out of 20) marks per day.

8. If you cannot submit your assignment through VU Collaborate’s drop
