This written Comprehensive Professional Portfolio is comprised of individual and group tasks which<\/p>\n
are to be completed within tutorials and will require further work and writing up outside of the<\/p>\n
classroom. These set of tutorial activities extending till the end of the session, are intended to take you<\/p>\n
through a learning journey of exploration and development. They have been specifically designed to<\/p>\n
incorporate not only a real-life perspective to your university learning but also to further enhance<\/p>\n
graduate capabilities such as your ability to engage in critical, analytical and integrative thinking,<\/p>\n
problem solving and research capability, socially and environmentally active and responsible citizens<\/p>\n
and the ability to exercise professional and personal judgement and initiative, into your final year<\/p>\n
experience. It is with this in mind that we hope you will be equipped with the skills necessary for<\/p>\n
higher level study and effective professional performance.<\/p>\n
Thought Activity<\/strong><\/p>\n We would like you to take some time between your \u2018regulatory and political influence on accounting<\/p>\n practice\u2019 class and your tutorial the following week to complete the activity outlined below.<\/p>\n Based on the material discussed in your lecture regarding the regulatory and political influence that<\/p>\n can be placed on accounting practice, you are required to search for a newspaper\/professional<\/p>\n magazine article that discusses or relates to concepts presented in this lecture. Your article is required<\/p>\n to be dated between February 2015 and August 2015<\/strong>. You will need to either print off the<\/p>\n newspaper\/magazine article or cut the article out and hold onto this.<\/p>\n When you have found an article you will need to provide a written summary and analysis of this.<\/p>\n Your summary should contain the following items and can be entered in the box provided below:<\/p>\n interest or connection that you may have to the contents of the article)?<\/p>\n in the \u2018regulatory and political influence on accounting practice\u2019 lecture. Here you should be<\/p>\n providing a critical evaluation of the articles contents and the linkages, connections and<\/p>\n relationships you have been able to see and draw from its contents to the contents of the<\/p>\n lecture discussion.<\/p>\n Write a reflective entry on this here (if you need more space please expand further):<\/p>\n Article Synopsis <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reasons for Inclusion <\/strong><\/p>\n Description discussing the articles relation to the Political and Regulatory influence on<\/strong><\/p>\n Accounting <\/strong><\/p>\n You will need to bring your written thought activity with you along with a copy of the newspaper\/<\/p>\n professional magazine article to your tutorial.<\/p>\n Tutorial Engagement Activity <\/strong><\/p>\n During your tutorial in week 3 you are required to engage in peer discussion. You will need to work<\/p>\n with a peer (this could be your neighbour or it may be someone further abroad in your tutorial group<\/p>\n or even someone you have not yet met).<\/p>\n Activity One<\/p>\n With your peer for the first 20 mins, take 10 mins each to present your article to one another. (You<\/p>\n will need to take notes of your discussion to feedback to other tutorial members and also to document<\/p>\n in your portfolio). You should each briefly discuss the content of the article, why you chose it and<\/p>\n how it links to the concepts presented in the lecture.<\/p>\n Your tutor will then facilitate a group discussion for 20 mins where you may be called to present your<\/p>\n peers work (rather than your own) to the rest of the class.<\/p>\n Activity Two<\/p>\n With your peer\/neighbour from activity one, join another set of two so that you are now discussing in<\/p>\n a group of four. Start to think (and record notes) about creating responses to the following questions:<\/p>\n can you describe this? If not, can you discuss what this might mean?<\/p>\n causes\/reasons for this?<\/p>\n and the recent introduction of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has had on<\/p>\n such a political and regulatory climate?<\/p>\n commencing your own professional journey within such a context?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Post-Thought Activity <\/strong><\/p>\n In the next couple of days after your tutorial you will need to begin to formulate a response to the<\/p>\n following:<\/p>\n In undertaking this exercise, talking with your peers and hearing the discussion that ensued in<\/strong><\/p>\n your tutorial. Outline what you have gained personally as a result of your engagement? How<\/strong><\/p>\n might you start to prepare yourself to enter such a political and regulatory professional context<\/strong><\/p>\n in which your ethics and judgement may be called into question? What might be the effect of<\/strong><\/p>\n such political and regulatory influence for the accounting profession? <\/strong><\/p>\n What are you required to Submit?<\/p>\n You are required to submit to your tutor during your next tutorial \u2013 the following week (week 4) <\/strong>a<\/p>\n collated neatly presented folio of work containing:<\/p>\n presentation during activity one.<\/p>\n (this can be presented in bullet point form).<\/p>\n questions). These should be formulated in an appropriately designed and logical structure.<\/p>\n Your tutor will collect this from you and keep a record of each of your submissions.<\/p>\n These are sent through to the Unit Convenor along with a tutorial participation grading each week for<\/p>\n record keeping throughout the session. Please remember a failure to submit this piece of work on time<\/p>\n will result in a forfeiture of 2% of your overall Comprehensive Professional Portfolio mark. It is a<\/p>\n requirement of this unit that you achieve a passing grade in your Comprehensive Professional<\/p>\n Portfolio to receive a passing grade or higher in this unit overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This written Comprehensive Professional Portfolio is comprised of individual and group tasks which are to be completed within tutorials and will require further work and writing up outside of the classroom.
