Instructions:

Assume that you are a facilitator of Advanced Accounting, a financial accounting course of the postgraduate accounting programs and have been asked to present a workshop to students who are currently enrolled in the course. As a facilitator, your main role is to guide your students through the practical experience requirement by supporting and preparing them for life-long learning in pursuit of personal development and excellence in professional learning.

1. Refer to Table 1 in the Appendix.

2. Look up your student ID for the company that you have been assigned with.

3. Look up the company and obtain a copy of their annual report for 2015.

To obtain copies of Financial Reports you could Google "ASX" on the internet and from the options select "Prices, Research & Announcements", then "Company research" and then "View complete list". Once you have found the company to use, search their web site and look for their "investor information" links and download a pdf version of their latest Annual Report to your computer. If you then make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Reader X (free download from the Adobe web site) open the report in Adobe Reader and you can go to "Edit" => "Take a Snapshot" and this will let you select the section of the document you wish to copy and you can then simply paste that into a Word document using Ctrl+v. Do not paste as a picture or the file size will blow out and you won't be able to lodge your assignment. Do not copy the whole of the financial reports and notes to your assignment but only small snapshots like those you see in lecture Powerpoints for this course.

2. From the notes, show the sections regarding the requirements and disclosures in relation to other standards that impact on the financial statements and the notes and how these are consistent with the relevant AASB standards covered in Topics 2. To do this create a table with two columns and put the extract of the financial statements down the left side and in the right hand column enter the relevant paragraphs from the relevant standards.
