This unit provides an introduction to financial reporting as well as a foundation for those who may later wish to specialise in accounting. No prior knowledge of the subject is required. Topics include the core concepts and practices underlying the preparation of financial statements, financial statement analysis and the factors in the business environment that influence the demand and supply of accounting information. The understanding of the business environment, measurement concepts and analytical skills gained through this unit are relevant to both accounting and non-accounting majors. |

Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit except in the case of a bachelor's pass degree student who has obtained a mark of 45 to 49 and is currently enrolled in this unit, and it is the only remaining unit that the student must pass in order to complete their course. |
