Assignment questions

Question 1. Explain why accounting information is generally considered to be useful, and why you need to know the basics of accounting.

Question 2. Sonumatics in New South Wales, Australia, is a computer firm run by Max Brenner and his family. Max intends to sell the shares of this firm to investors on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This would mean that the firm would ‘go public' which will result in investors having a say in the management of the firm. Max is worried about losing control of the business, which his family has owned for generations. He did not have to provide a lot of accounting information to outsiders and doesn't like the prospect of interference with a business that he believes he knows better than anyone else.

As a close friend of Max, you have been asked to advise him on the implications of being listed on the ASX for the management of his firm. Refer to the ASX's principles of good corporate governance on their website at https://www.axs,cin,ay/regulation/corporate-governance-council.htm>in providing your answer to Max's question. How do you think these principles might help firms to be run ethically?

To obtain these marks, ensure you comply with the following: • Font: Time New Roman, 12 point, 1.5 line spacing • Document submitted onto Moodle must be in Word format, allowing the marker to use track-changes to provide comments and indicate where you received marks. Please do not submit a pdf document or copy from another source such as for example include screen shots of calculations done in excel. The track-changes function cannot be used to do the marking in these and hence only information created in Word will be marked. • Page: portrait orientation • Footer: Student IDs of all group members, page number and number of pages (i.e. s0123456, s2345678 & s5678910 page 1 of 3) • Cover sheet is completed and attached as the first page of the assignment.
