Individual research assessment
Topic: Reporting, Measurement and Disclosure of Revenue
Task Details: Each student is required to choose an ASX listed firm and analyse its 2019 financial statements. The analysis must focus on discussing the firm's reporting, measurement and disclosure practices on revenue. In the discussion, detail the accounting policy that the firm follows in reporting, measudng and disclosing its revenue. The discussion must be supported by the requirements prescribed by AASB 15 and relevant academic and professional discourse.
Justify why the firm adopted the policy in its 2019 financial reports rather than other policies permitted under AASB 15. To achieve this, students must present an alternative economic outcome in terms of accounting profit and net assets, if the firm chooses a policy permitted under AASB 15 but different to the one that was used in its 2019 financial reports. Students are also required to research on the economic, institutional. historical and cultural backgrounds of the firm to make sense its accounting choice in relation to revenue.
Note that each student must choose a unique ASX listed firm, the firm must NOT be in mining or banking industry; so get in early and report to your tutor your choice of the firm. once it is locked in by your tutor, no other students in the same tutorial class are permitted to research on the same firm.
Research requirements: Students need to support their analysis with reference to relevant material from the text and a minimum of eight (I" suitable, reliable, current and academically acceptable sources - this should include at least 2 peer-reviewed academic journal articles.
