Appendix 2. The CPA Canada Handbook Accounting ACC 2010, Fall 2018, Course Outline / Page 5 of 7 The CPA Canada Handbook Accounting is made up of 5 parts. For this course, we will only be studying Part I and Part II. Part I is the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Part II is the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE). Though it is not absolutely necessary to read the IFRS or ASPE themselves, motivated students may find it useful to read directly from the accounting standards to obtain a better understanding of the application of accounting. The CPA Canada Handbook Accounting is available in electronic format on the University of Manitoba Libraries website. To access the Handbook: 1. From the University of Manitoba homepage (www.umanitoba.ca), click on Libraries under Resources block. 2. Click Databases A-Z; enter CPA Canada Standards & Guidance Collection and click Go. 3. If you are accessing the Handbook from off campus, you will then have to enter your Library ID and PIN (if you do not know your Library ID and/or PIN, there is a link on this page that will help you) and click on Login. 4. On the Knotia.ca page, click on CPA Canada Standards and Guidance Collection (CPACHB). 5. The most efficient way to access a particular section in the Handbook is to enter the section number in the Fetch box and click on Go.

ACC 2010, Fall 2018, Course Outline / Page 7 of 7 Appendix 4. Academic Integrity It is critical to the reputation of the I. H. Asper School of Business and of our degrees that everyone associated with our faculty behaves with the highest academic integrity. As the faculty that helps create business and government leaders, we have a special obligation to ensure that our ethical standards are beyond reproach. Any dishonesty in our academic transactions violates this trust. The University of Manitoba Undergraduate Calendar addresses the issue of academic dishonesty under the heading Plagiarism and Cheating. Specifically, acts of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to: using the exact words of a published or unpublished author without quotation marks and without referencing the source of these words duplicating a table, graph or diagram, in whole or in part, without referencing the source paraphrasing the conceptual framework, research design, interpretation, or any other ideas of another person, whether written or verbal (e.g., personal communications, ideas from a verbal presentation) without referencing the source copying the answers of another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment providing answers to another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment taking any unauthorized materials into an examination or term test (crib notes) impersonating another student or allowing another person to impersonate oneself for the purpose of submitting academic work or writing any test or examination stealing or mutilating library materials accessing tests prior to the time and date of the sitting changing name or answer(s) on a test after that test has been graded and returned submitting the same paper or portions thereof for more than one assignment, without discussions with the instructors involved. Group Projects and Group Work Many courses in the I. H. Asper School of Business require group projects. Students should be aware that group projects are subject to the same rules regarding academic dishonesty. Because of the unique nature of group projects, all group members should exercise special care to insure that the group project does not violate the policy on Academic Integrity. Should a violation occur, group members are jointly accountable unless the violation can be attributed to a specific individual(s). Some courses, while not requiring group projects, encourage students to work together in groups (or at least do not prohibit it) before submitting individual assignments. Students are encouraged to discuss this issue as it relates to academic integrity with their instructor to avoid violating this policy. In the I. H. Asper School of Business, all suspected cases of academic dishonesty are passed to the Dean s office in order to ensure consistency of treatment.
