BUACC3714Advanced Management Accounting Semester 2, 2017Group AssignmentContribution to overall assessment: 25%Due Date: 24/9/2017Your text book discusses the changes in business environment and the changing focus of management accounting.The changes in management accounting could be summed-up as: “from cost accounting to accounting for six capitals to accounting in the public sector”. Increasingly, management accountants are seen as a part of the management team, providing strategic advice and they also play a role in the public sector accountability.A 2004 report by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland discusses the changing business and commercial environment that places an enormous pressure on accountants, wherever they work, which may result in decisions and judgements that compromise ethical standards.Required:Discuss the opportunities and challenges for management accountants in a digital and global economy. Starting points for your research:Your text: Chapters 1 and 17.Gleeson-White, J.  (2014).  Six capitals : the revolution capitalism has to have -- or can acccountants save the planet?.  Crows Nest, NSW : Allen & UnwinHelliar, C., & Bebbington, K. J. (2004). Taking Ethics to Heart. Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland. Please note the following:Required format: Essay (2500 words)Your work must comply with the University’s General Guide for the Presentation of Academic Work. This is a group-assignment. Each group needs to have 2 to 3 members in it. Please organise yourselves into groups. Please make sure that names and ID numbers of all group members are stated on the cover sheet of your submission. As this is a group assignment, each member of your group is awarded the same mark. Working in groups has its pros and cons. I am sure that you will hold constructive group discussions. In case of any disagreements, you will be able to resolve them in a reasonable way. There will be times when you may have to agree to disagree with each other. Invariably different group members bring different skills to a project; it is up to you to make the best of it. I believe one can learn a lot by discussing the issues with one’s colleagues. If you find your group members are “not pulling their weight” or there are problems with any member’s commitment, then please try to resolve those issues amongst yourselves. Open and honest communication always helps. If you are unable to resolve these issues, you are most welcome to see me and we will try to sort out the problems together. Do this as soon as possible and certainly before the due date. For some reason, if you do not wish to work in a group, please let us know.Thanks - BUACC3714, Advanced Management AccountingSemester 2, 2017, Group AssignmentBases of assessmentF P HDContent - Identification of relevant issues.Research - Selection of relevant material.
