ACCG100: Accounting IA
This unit provides an introduction to the principles and concepts relating to financial accounting. It takes a decision-making focus and encourages students to not only prepare information but to understand how such information assists users in making important business decisions. The unit begins with discussion of the decision-making environment including general analysis of the conceptual framework. By the end of the unit students are able to record basic business transactions, complete a worksheet and prepare a statement of financial performance and statement of financial position. A manual practice set is used to consolidate the discrete topics taught and to connect classroom learning with practice. Learning materials which emphasise ethical practice and effective professional communication are also used to develop graduate capabilities. The unit practices constructive alignment in assessment. Generic skills development is embedded in the learning experiences to enhance students' future employability in the profession. The unit is the first step towards an accounting career.
