Contemporary Accounting Practice - ACCG950
This unit aims to consolidate learning across postgraduate studies in accounting with focus on strategic issues in financial accounting, management accounting, audit and assurance, information systems and business law preparing students for employment in a complex business environment. As a key member of a business organisation, an accountant needs to have an awareness of contemporary issues affecting business, be able to identify and manage business risk while maintaining an entrepreneurial and innovative approach. Using real life case studies, through work experience opportunities and presentations by industry leaders, this unit develops the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare students to deal with contemporary issues and develop their leadership and entrepreneurial skills. This unit will require students to think critically, ethically and strategically in solving business problems whilst integrating technical knowledge and professional skills. This unit also provides an opportunity for students to further develop and consolidate their graduate capabilities, particularly their analytical, critical and integrative thinking skills, their professional judgement and problem solving capabilities and most importantly their role as engaged global citizens.
