Both on-campus and online students are provided with a range of resources for each topic on Blackboard that may include topic notes comprising demonstrated exercises and solutions, powerpoint slides summarising key concepts, topic videos explaining theoretical concepts and application of relevant accounting standards. Students will be engaged in an active learning environment where they will have the opportunity to present collaboratively with their peers, review core concepts and apply relevant accounting standards to worked examples. Students are also introduced to research principles and methods used in the accounting profession. Students will complete a collaborative team project to evaluate changes in accounting standards and the resulting implications. Accounting practitioners from accounting professional bodies are invited as guest speakers to provide students with practical business examples.
