Context for the assignment
Use an aspect or aspects that relate to the context of the article Win at all costs: Cricket and banks caught tampering with ethics (Links to an external site.) (Bartholomeusz 2018) and choose five quality scholarly research journal articles that adopt at least one of the accounting theories covered in Chapters 3 or 5 of Rankin et al. (2018) to write a Report.
Assignment brief
In light of the article Win at all costs: Cricket and banks caught tampering with ethics (Links to an external site.) (Bartholomeusz 2018), the Chair of the Board of Commonwealth Bank has commissioned you to write a report explaining what insights you can contribute to the business culture and/or ethics. In your report, you must provide an explanation of at least five quality, scholarly journal articles that present research on this issue.
Important: These articles must be drawn from journal titles listed on the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) list, which represents a measure of quality.
*Refer to the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) journal rankings (Links to an external site.) (ABDC n.d.).
Scholarly journal articles
You will need to make sure that the title of the journal(s) in which the articles you want to use are published are on the ABDC list. It is suggested that you find relevant articles first, using the Library Database ‘Business source complete’, identify the journal title from which the article comes and then make sure this journal title appears on the ABDC list. This list is a way of ensuring that the articles you choose come from peer-reviewed, scholarly journal titles.
Format
A report format is required for this assignment. In a report, the Executive summary should provide an overview of the whole report, including any recommendations. This is a ‘thinking’ assignment and what is expected is your personal view based on research and the evidence that has been sourced. Further, an assignment which presents more quotes than constructive analysis and argument may be heavily penalised.
Suggested report structure
* The word limit for this assignment excludes title page, references and executive summary, but includes footnotes, endnotes and appendices.
Note: Markers will only read the Conclusion (which is worth 10%) if the assignment overall is within the word limit.
