Accounting And Finance Assignment – Australia.

Context
Learners are required to refer to the guidance notes and assignment brief in order to present an answer that would fall within the required context.

Confidentiality
Learners must seek permission and advice when using organisational/business information that would be considered sensitive or confidential within their assignments. If the organisation’s consent is given, and anonymity is a given requirement of the organisation, then the learner must respect this.

Assessment Criteria and Mark Sheets
The assignment brief will include the mark scheme along with grade descriptors for learners to refer to if needed. The guidance notes before the assignment questions should be used for reference in order to ensure that learners are equipped with the information and formats required. Learners are requested to obtain necessary advice on assignment context, format and other supporting information to clarify and help understand the requirements.

The assessment criteria and the mark sheets will help learners identify how and where the marks have been allocated and allow them to structure their answers accordingly.

Word Count
It is mandatory that learners adhere to the specified word count given in the assignment brief within a margin of -/+10%. For certain tasks, the assignment brief may specify the page count depending on the task requirement, and although a word count may not be applicable for these, the page count must be adhered to at all times. All tables, charts, diagrams, referencing (in-text) will be considered a part of the assignment word count.

If the task requires learners to make a presentation, the word count will only be applicable to the notes provided. The assignment questions may also specify the number of slides, in which case the learners are also required to adhere to this.

Back to Contents :-
Any supporting documents used to reinforce the learners answer need to be attached at the end of the report as appendices. Such supplementary material will equip the examiner with the required background knowledge on the information provided within the report. However, these will not be considered for grading nor as part of the word/page count.

All assignments submitted with clear disregard for the stipulated page/word counts may be discounted, and the learner may have to resubmit his/her work for assessment pending revision/review of their work.

Referencing and Professionalism
To ensure that learners follow a professional stance at all times, they need to:
1. Use Harvard referencing for all citations and references (including in-text)
2. Use professional, formal English in presenting their work
3. Learners must refrain from writing in a first-person perspective (i.e. ‘I’, ‘We’, ‘Me’ etc. should not be used with in the answer).

Learners should bear in mind that considerable marks are awarded for format and presentation.
There fore referencing and professionalism will be assessed in every task.
