Please read the entire handout (all five pages) before beginning work on the Compulsory CAP assignment. (You should also read the Unit Outline information about assignments generally – late submissions, special consideration etc.) The Compulsory CAP assignment must be completed using version 10.0 of the program. Using any other version to complete the assignment is unacceptable, and will result in zero marks being awarded. The submission date for the Compulsory CAP assignment is: 11:59 PM on Friday 29 th April 2016 Please note that this submission deadline means precisely what it says: 11:59 PM on Friday 29 th April 2016. There will be no extensions granted beyond this precise time and date. Assignments submitted after the due time and date will incur a late penalty of 10% of the maximum assignment value for each day (including weekends) or part thereof that the assignment is late. Assignments submitted more than one week after the due time and date will receive a mark of zero. Important note: Carefully read all “Further Points” on the last two pages (pages 4 and 5) of this handout.

(b)  Generate an "EXAM SUBMIT" case study (any other type of case study will be disqualified automatically – including “exam practice”). (c)  Solve the case study on screen within the allotted time. (d)  Obtain an assessment. (e)  Print out various documents. (Missing documents will be severely penalised, and could even result in zero marks being awarded.) (f)  Save the entire case study to disk as a back-up measure. (g)  Scan all print out pages and save them as a single PDF document. Make sure that case details at the top of each page are complete and clearly visible. (h)  Please note that document formats other than PDF will not be accepted. (h)  Upload the PDF document to the ACC80006 webpage by the submission deadline. To meet the requirements of the Compulsory CAP assignment in full, you must upload a SINGLE scanned PDF document to the ACC80006 webpage by precisely 11:59 PM on Friday 29 th April, 2016 using the upload link provided on the ACC80006 webpage. Late submission penalties will apply. Please note that multiple PDF documents should not be uploaded and will not be accepted. Emailed attachments will also not be accepted. When creating the PDF file, please set a SMALL file size rather than a large file size. Small size files are easier to upload. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient knowledge (and also adequate time) to fully meet the submission requirements, including learning how to create single PDF files from multi-page documents. You are advised to formulate an appropriate back-up strategy in the event things do not proceed according to plan. When you upload your assignment to the ACC80006 website, please ensure you use the correct upload link. The website provides four upload links – one for the Bonus CAP assignment, one for the Compulsory CAP assignment, one for the Compulsory PCAM2 assignment and one for the Compulsory PITA assignment. For the Compulsory CAP assignment, you must use the Compulsory CAP assignment upload link.

And remember that document formats other than PDF will not be accepted.

Upload ALL print outs via a single PDF document by the due date. Make sure that case details at the top of each page are complete and clearly visible. SOME FURTHER POINTS YOU SHOULD NOTE (1) Please take comfort in the fact that even though you must make only one assignment submission, you can attempt the actual CAP assignment task as many times as you like. I will have no way of telling (neither do I have the slightest interest in knowing) whether what you submit is your first or your fifty-first attempt. If you mess up the exam half way through, or if you feel you have made too many errors, or if visitors arrive and interrupt you, then you can start the assignment all over again. (Provided, of course, that you have not left things until the last minute, and that you do still have time to make another attempt.) ACC80006 Financial Reporting  Compulsory CAP assignment  Semester 1, 2016 Dr John Lourens, FCPA  Swinburne University  Page 5 of 5 (2)  Remember that when in Exam Submit mode, once you have requested an assessment, CAP will not allow you to make any further entries or changes to your journal entries. If you are not happy with your assignment attempt, for whatever reason (errors, interruptions etc), the only way to fix things up is to start the assignment all over again. (3)  If you exceed the assignment time limit, CAP will still allow you to continue working. However, if the time shown on your print out exceeds the time allotted, then you will incur a significant mark penalty. (The time taken to print out documents after assessment has been requested is NOT included in the 105 minute case study duration. Thus, there is no need for you to make any time allowance for this printing.) (4)  You are responsible for solving any printing problems you encounter, and no allowance will be made in this regard. Please do not wait until the "last minute" to identify and solve printing problems. Practice printing out NOW while you have the time to identify and solve printing problems. It is probably a good idea to arrange a back-up printing strategy (e.g. arranging to use someone else's printer) just in case things do go wrong at the last minute. (5)  For the most part, the Compulsory CAP assignment will be graded on the number of errors you make. Generally speaking, you will be penalised ½ mark per error made. Since the assignment is worth 20 marks in total, 40 or more errors will result in "zero" marks. Penalties will be imposed for failure to set switches, or submit documentation, exactly as asked. And remember, document formats other than PDF will not be accepted. (For example, an assignment where 34 out of 68 debit / credit entries are correct would NOT score 10 out of 20 marks. Instead, such an assignment would score 3 out of 20 marks. Balanced against this tough marking policy are two important factors. First, you have had a long time to prepare for this assignment. Second, YOU decide which assignment attempt to submit. If you are unhappy with the number of errors you make, you have the option of attempting the assignment again, provided you can still meet the submission deadline.) (6)  Finally, please remember that only CAP version 10.0 is to be used for this assignment. Remember also that all case studies other than Exam Submit will be automatically disqualified. There will be no opportunity to resubmit a disqualified assignment submission. Good luck with your Compulsory CAP assignment, and also your forthcoming exams.
