4 4 ACCT5942 is NOT a correspondence course. Seminars are vital learning and teaching activities and student attendance in seminars is a course requirement. Seminars times and locations must be registered by using the MyUNSW system. You must attend your nominated seminars throughout the semester. Attendance at seminars are recorded. Non-attendance may affect student assessment marks during the semester and may also be taken into consideration by the lecturer-in-charge when reviewing a student s final grade for the course Units of Credit ACCT5942 is 6 units of credit. There is no parallel teaching in this course Summary of Course ACCT5942 examines the preparation of external financial reports by corporate groups that are reporting entities in accordance with the Corporation Act, 2001 (Cth). The primary learning objective of the course is to apply the techniques of group accounting including consolidation accounting, equity accounting and the line-by-line method for jointly controlled operations or jointly controlled assets. ACCT 5942 seminar begin in Week 1 with consideration of the form and structure of external financial reports following by company financing in week 2. The next three seminar weeks 3, 4 and 5 cover topics that provide pre-requisite knowledge for group accounting including accounting for corporate income tax, fair value measurement, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, business combinations and impairment. Seminar weeks 6 to 9 are dedicated to teaching and learning the main topic of the course, consolidation accounting. Seminar weeks 10 to 12 cover other topic relevant to group accounting including translation of foreign currency financial statements, accounting for associates and accounting for joint arrangements Course Aims and Relationship to Other Courses ACCT5942 aims to educate students about generally accepted accounting practice by large companies. Students are expected to develop knowledge of how to prepare external financial reports for corporate groups. This course has three high-level aims. The first aim is to provide students with the concepts and experiences necessary to understand the preparation and use of external financial reports in future careers whether as financial accountants, company executives, taxation officers, auditors, financial analysts, actuaries, legal advisors or academics. The second aim is to instil in students a way of thinking and a way of doing corporate accounting, that is, a structured approach to examining accounting requirements and applying those requirements to problem solving. It is expected that students will develop their technical knowledge through course training and individual practice. The third aim is to challenge students to think critically about corporate financial reporting by fostering an appreciation of both the rationale of financial accounting techniques and the issues that arise in their practical application.

5 5 ACCT5942 is a required course for students considering a position in the accounting profession. ACCT5942 is included in the core curriculum studies required by CPA Australia and Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and is also accredited by the Institute of Actuaries of Australia. In order to enrol in ACCT5942, a student must have successfully completed ACCT5930 Financial Accounting. Given the prerequisite, it is assumed that students have good understanding of the basic double-entry recording system with its use of debits and credits. If you need to brush up your knowledge in this area, you can consult the text for ACCT5930 (K. Trotman & M. Gibbins, Financial Accounting: An Integrated Approach, 4th ed., Cengage Learning, 2009, Ch. 1 to 5). Another good reference is D. Kieso, N. Fargher, V. Wise, J. Weygandt and T. Warfield, Fundamentals of Intermediate Accounting, Wiley, 2008, Ch. 3. Prior experience suggests that students who lack a solid understanding of ACCT5930 material struggle to satisfactorily pass ACCT5942. Those who do not have good understanding of ACCT5930 material should carefully revise the above sources and seek assistance from the staff before the end of week 2. It is important to understand that ACCT5942 builds on the foundation laid in ACCT5930 Financial Accounting. ACCT5942 deals with intermediate to advanced financial accounting topics including the issues raised through consolidation and equity accounting. COMM5003 or other courses with a user perspective on accounting do not provide enough background for ACCT5942. If you have not done ACCT5930 or its equivalent, you are required to complete ACCT5930 before starting ACCT Student Learning Outcomes The Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) are what you should be able to DO by the end of this course if you participate fully in learning activities and successfully complete the assessment items. Following satisfactory completion of ACCT5942, students should be able to: CLO 1: Describe the financial reporting requirements that apply to Australian corporate groups. CLO 2: Prepare financial statements for a company in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 108 and AASB 110, AASB 121, AASB 1054 including the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows.

Detailed learning objectives for each seminar week that are designed to help students achieve the six course CLOs are set out in section 7 below. 3. LEARNING AND TEACHING ACTIVITIES 3.1. Approach to Learning and Teaching in the Course At university, the focus is on your self-directed search for knowledge. Seminars, assigned questions, reading materials, other resources and exams are provided to help you learn. It is up to the student to prepare for the seminars. At minimum, preparation for seminar should include a first reading of the assigned reading for the week and completion of the assigned questions to the best of your ability. After seminar it is then up to the student to decide how much work is necessary to study for the exams. A range of questions with solutions are provided to assist the students in their learning outside seminar. The aim is provide you with a flexible but directed learning approach Learning Activities and Teaching Strategies

8 8 Learning occurs inside the classroom through a weekly three-hour seminar in which there will be a review discussion of key assigned questions and a lecture. Learning occurs outside the classroom through reading of course learning materials, completing assigned questions, preparing for assessments, self-study group meetings, group work and individual consultation with teaching staff or other students. Inside the Classroom: Seminars Students are expected to prepare for the seminars by reading the assigned chapters and seminar notes for the week s topic and completing all assigned questions to the best of their ability. In seminar, students are encouraged to ask informative questions which demonstrate their understanding of the previewed materials. Most seminars will begin by discussion based on students voluntary attempt to work through questions assigned in the previous week. The lecturers will then proceed to the next topic and demonstrate how the techniques of corporate financial reporting are applied. All seminar notes are available on Moodle but they are not a complete record of seminars. Students should try to review the relevant seminar notes and attempt all the assigned questions before attending the next seminar. Outside the Classroom: Self Study Self-study is a key element of the learning design of the course. The benefits of seminars are fully realised when students prepare in advance. The preparation for each should include the following: 1. a quick first read of the textbook chapters 2. review of the lecture powerpoint slides 3. review practice set materials available on Moodle 4. a handwritten attempt at homework questions There are two learning approaches here. Firstly, you learn inductively or learn by example when reviewing answers to questions. The observed solution is the starting point to learning inductively. Students may use the solution to establish or deduce what techniques have been followed to generate the answer. Secondly, you learn deductively when you attempt preparation and homework questions without reference to the answer. In this case, it is necessary to draw on the logic needed or the techniques or processes that are necessary to generate an answer. What are you trying to achieve? What information is needed to produce the answer? What should be done first, second, etc. Learning deductively is very important to your development as an accounting professional because most of the problems encountered in this business do not already have the answers provided. Deductive thinking is important because this is what students have to do in the mid-sem and final exams, i.e. read and interpret questions and use the information provided to prepare written answers. Making mistakes and getting stuck is a natural part of the learning process in accounting. When you can t understand a solution, or are unable to complete a question without the solution, timely action is needed to clear the roadblock in your understanding. Consult

9 9 other students, raise your difficulties during h and, if still unclear, consult teachers during their consultation hours. Completing some handwritten work throughout the semester without the solution also provides students with timely feedback on their progression with course topics. 4. ASSESSMENT 4.1. Formal Requirements In order to pass this course, you must: Achieve a composite mark of at least 50%; AND Make a satisfactory attempt at all assessment tasks (see below).

UNSW's myexperience survey is one of the ways in which student evaluative feedback is gathered. In this course, we will seek your feedback through myexperience responses. As a result of student feedback, ACCT5942 has been redesigned to include more assessment activities prior to the final exam. Student feedback is gathered informally through teacher-student interactions during the semester. This feedback is valuable because it enables teachers to respond to student needs during the semester. For example, the lecturer may decide to revisit an issue in lectures that some students have not understood. Your constructive criticism is welcomed and you can direct any feedback outside the myexperience process to the Lecturer-in-charge at s.hossain@unsw.edu.au.
