Each group will submit a written report and students in each group will be given the group mark for the report. See the Unit Guide for the submission date and late penalties. The unit convenor has the right to review the contribution of each student towards the completion of the report and award an individual mark to a student according to his or her contribution. Students will also make a group presentation in tutorial class as scheduled. An individual mark will be awarded to each presenter. Introduction Globally, there are now $22.89 trillion of assets being professionally managed under responsible investment strategies, an increase of 25 percent since 2014. Combining New Zealand and Australia, responsible investment assets have grown from 2014 to 2016 to reach $515.7 billion. Sustainable investing is an investment approach that considers environmental, social and governance factors in portfolio selection and management. In Australia, sustainable investments now account for 50 percent of all professionally managed assets. Society today is placing increasing pressure on lending institutions to operate within transparent and solid corporate governance structures. Society and investors alike are becoming increasingly interested in a long-term sustainable economy where lending institutions invest in projects in a more socially responsible and sustainable manner. See commitments of banks and other lending institutions (for example in their sustainability reports) to facilitate sustainable investments and social and environmental projects. The role of accountants is changing to one of leadership in business, providing advisory, consultancy and assurance services. In order for accountants to be able to provide these services it is not simply about the possession of strong technical accounting knowledge but rather it is about the ability to integrate and apply the acquired body of knowledge for decision-making and solving complex business problems of today. Accountants need to be able to communicate effectively with users from diverse backgrounds, with a developed awareness of the importance of sustainable business practices. Requirements In this assessment, each group will: 1. Think creatively and develop an idea for an original and sustainable investment. The investment must have benefits for society and/or the environment and also economic benefits to the investing entity. 2. In view of the objective of item 1 above, students must first find an existing entity. It can be a business enterprise (company) or a not-for-profit-organisation. The proposed investment can be for an entirely new product, an expansion of the core business, a new segment added to the business, a technological innovation or upgrade, or any suitable ideas that students may have. It is important that students must sufficiently justify the investment, for instance, due to threat of disruption, opportunity (or threat) from technological advancements, opportunities for exporters from free trade agreements or threats from import tariffs, sector specific challenges (for example competition from increase in international wine exporters or periods of unfavourable weather etc.) or opportunities (for example, economic and consumption growth in Asia and particularly China and India). Students must therefore research and thoroughly analyse the business entity and the sector that it is in. It is also necessary that the annual and financial reports and other information about the entity be readily and publicly available. 3. The analyses and sources of evidence for supporting the proposed investment must include financial statements, other information in the annual reports (and if available, web-based announcements) and from Big Data sources, i.e. a variety of other web- based sources or Internet of Things (e.g. aerial video data from drones) of non- financial data (qualitative data), for example, Google Trends, Alibaba trends, ABS, Austrade, DFAT, global and domestic business trends and developments, global and domestic trade and economic developments, trade agreements, government policy announcements, subsidies and grants, corporate tax cut, and so on. 4. An external funding source must also be identified to finance the investment, so it is necessary to project the profit outcomes and other benefits of the investment, the cash inflows and outflows and the amount and timing of funds needed to finance the investment. It is also necessary to justify the funding institution(s) that will be approached. Relevant evidence from the analyses of financial data (for instance, cash flow projections, profit history and projections, existing resources, etc.), non-financial data and big data sources must be provided to support the funding proposal. 5. The written report is addressed to the board of directors and shareholders and the objective of the report is to appeal to the corporate social responsibility of the readers and to secure their support and approval for the investment by convincing them of the economic and other benefits and merits (social and/or environmental) of the proposed investment. 6. The written report must also include a sound financial plan (with supporting evidence and documentation) for the procurement of the finance to carry out the investment successfully. 7. Page guide for the written report: 12-15 pages in total. 8. See unit guide for details regarding submission of the written report. Only one submission per group. Submit the following in one document: cover sheet written report group meeting record self and peer contribution evaluation form 9. For the group oral presentation, each student will present for 4 minutes. The objective of the presentation is also to appeal to and to convince the audience of the economic and other benefits (social and/or environmental) of the proposed investment in order to secure their support and approval. The funding plan and supporting evidence should form part of the presentation. 10. Students are to present as a team, this means that there must be logical progression from one presenter to the next and there must be coherence of the whole presentation. 11. A mark will be awarded to each presenter individually (i.e. not a group mark). 12. Presentations have been rostered to take place in tutorials in Weeks 11, 12 and 13. 13. Each student has 4 minutes to present. Students must keep to the time limit and set up quickly as there is very little time for transition between groups. 14. Students MUST print a copy of the marking rubric and write his or her name on it and give it to the tutor on the presentation day. COVER SHEET Class number: Tutor: STUDENT ID LAST NAME FIRST NAME SIGNATURE Group Meeting Record Template (All team members must sign the document and submit this document with the report) Date, duration and type of meeting. For example, facebook, skype, face-to-face etc. Members present at meeting Aim of meeting and group processes Outcomes of meeting Including allocation of tasks Report issues with group workings and processes here, include resolutions Self and Peer Contribution Evaluation Form To encourage equal participation in this group assessment task, each group will complete an member contribution evaluation form. This evaluation will indicate the percentage of contribution of group members to the group’s overall performance. If, in any group, there are complaints that a group member has not contributed approximately equally then the complaint will need to be reported in writing to the Unit Convenor. Following such a report the whole group will meet with the Unit Convenor to discuss the issue and the Unit Convenor may re- allocate marks appropriately. In the event that any group member does not attend such a meeting then the necessary re-allocation decision will be made by the Unit Convenor on the basis of discussions with those who do attend. Each group should give each group member (including themselves) a participation mark out of 100%. Individual marks are calculated by multiplying the paper mark by the percentage awarded by peers. For example, if Joe Bloke was awarded 90% for his contribution to the task and his group received 36 out of 40 points for the assessment task, Joe’s individual mark would be 32.4%. Another student, awarded 100%, would receive 36 points. Students can give each of the group members 100%. If this is done, each student receives the mark that was awarded to the total simulation task (in the above example, 36 marks). No student should receive 0% unless the student really did nothing to contribute to the completion of the assessment task. ONLY ONE FORM PER GROUP. In completing this form you should take into account: 1. Willingness of the individual to carry out jobs assigned 2. Ability of the individual to meet deadlines 3. Co-operation with other group members Student ID Student Names And signatures % Contribution Written Component – Marking Guide Total = 50 marks 1. Executive Summary: Up to 5 marks for a clear and concise Executive Summary that summarises the report effectively. Marks will be deducted if the Executive Summary is not clear, not concise (too many unnecessary words, too long), has missing essential parts or is badly written. It should be less than 1 page. 2. Analysis of financial reports and other financial data and presentation of results: Up to 10 marks for relevant and sufficient amount of analysis (for the context and purpose of the report) and the suitable and purposeful presentation of results. Up to 5 marks for too much (irrelevant) or insufficient amount of analysis and presentation of results that is unsuitable for the context and purpose of the report (for instance, dumping of numbers into tables making them confusing and meaningless to
