CASE STUDY GROUP ASSIGNMENT AND VIDEO PRESENTATION
Note – This is not the Unit Guide
The official Unit Guide is available online and is accessed separately through the unit’s iLearn page. This
Assessment Guide should be read in conjunction with the Unit Guide.
CASE STUDY GROUP ASSIGNMENT (30 MARKS REPRESENTING 15% OF THE TOTAL ASSESSMENT)
Groups of four (4) or five (5) are to be formed within your seminars for the group component of this
assignment task. Only one submission per group is to be made electronically on iLearn by the due date and
time i.e. you should nominate one member to submit.
The group component consists of a written report. The objective of the group report is to develop your
communication skills and capacity for collaborative learning and to test your ability to integrate skills learnt
in this unit of study, i.e. to analyse a company from the auditor’s perspective, with an emphasis on applying
relevant industry and current business information and context to the audit planning process.
The specific industry in which your audit client operates will be allocated to you in Week 4.
VIDEO PRESENTATION
(15 MARKS REPRESENTING 15% OF THE TOTAL ASSESSMENT)
This task builds on the work completed in the Case Study group assignment in the same specific industry
allocated to each group in Week 4, and further extends application of the knowledge from this unit. Each
student must address a specific part of the required and speak for 1 minute as part of the Video Presentation
by the group. Each student’s contribution to the video will be marked individually (technical content and
quality of communication/presentation).
