Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping)

Students are required to develop their understanding of the types of management accounting information that assists managers in organisational planning and control purposes. You are to collect primary data and also critically evaluate the literature (using journal articles) to analyse the practical use of management accounting information by contemporary organisations, and their relevance to decision-making by managers and achievement of business goals. (ULO 1 & 4)

All work must be submitted on Blackboard by the due date, along with a completed Assignment Cover Page.

The assignment must be in MS Word format, with no spacing, 12-pt Arial font and 2 cm margins on all four sides of your page with appropriate section headings and page numbers.

Reference sources must be cited in the report's text and listed appropriately at the end in a reference list using Harvard referencing style.

It is the student's responsibility to submit the work to ensure that the work is her/his work. Incorporating another's work or ideas into one's work without appropriate acknowledgement is an academic offence. Students should submit all assignments for plagiarism checking on Blackboard before final submission in the subject. For further details, please refer to the Unit Outline and Student Handbook.

Adapted Harvard Referencing

Holmes has now implemented a revised Harvard approach to referencing:

1. Reference sources in assignments are limited to sources which provide full text access to the source’s content for lecturers and markers.

2. The Reference list should be located on a separate page at the end of the essay and titled: References.

3. It should include the details of all the in-text citations, arranged alphabetically A-Z by author surname. In addition, it MUSTinclude a hyperlink to the full text of the cited reference source.

For example:

P Hawking, B McCarthy, A Stein (2004), Second Wave ERP Education, Journal of Information Systems Education, Fall,

HI5017 MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT T1 2021

http://jise.org/Volume15/n3/JISEv15n3p327.pdf

4. All assignments will require additional in-text reference details which will consist of the surname of the author/authors or name of the authoring body, year of publication, page number of contents, paragraph where the content can be found. For example,

“The company decided to implement an enterprise wide data warehouse business intelligence strategies (Hawking et al, 2004, p3(4)).”

Non - Adherence to Referencing Guidelines Where students do not follow the above guidelines:

1. Students who submit assignments which do not comply with the guidelines may be required to resubmit their assignments or incur penalties for inadequate referencing.

2. Late penalties will apply per day after a student or group has been notified of a resubmission requirement.

Students whose citations are fake will be reported for academic misconduct.
