Lectures are used to introduce the key concepts of managerial accounting and to illustrate how these concepts are applied in practice. In addition, the applicability of these concepts and techniques in different countries are highlighted, where appropriate. On-campus tutorials provide students with the opportunity to discuss and apply the managerial accounting principles to case study scenarios and in so doing further develop their skills of critical appraisal, effective communication and the ability to generate ideas. The assessments provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, critical thinking ability and to further develop their teamwork skills and written communication skills in preparing managerial accounting reports of quality academic and professional standards. Off-campus students are provided with an electronic version (Power Point presentations) of the lectures and weekly practice questions. The lecture presentations are used to introduce the key concepts of managerial accounting and to illustrate how these concepts are practically applied. The practice questions provide students with the opportunity to apply the managerial accounting principles covered in the lecture material, to case study scenarios and in so doing further develop their skills of critical appraisal and the ability to generate ideas. Off campus students receive additional support via the LMS discussion board, where students are encouraged to discuss critical aspects of the unit content and the application thereof. Regular online access is required. The assessments provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, critical thinking ability and to further develop their teamwork skills and written communication skills in preparing managerial accounting reports of quality academic and professional standards.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
