Application of Australian Accounting Standards
$35.00BAO2203
Corporate Accounting
They have asked you and your colleagues to sample a selection of listed companies, and establish the extent to which companies comply in detail with the spirit of the law. Management are curious about the compliance in regard to several particular areas of consolidations.
Required:
Your assignment is divided into two (2) parts. Part 1 is the analysis of a sample of annual reports and Part II is the essay component.
You are to form into groups of two for the submission of this assignment
Part 1 (approx. 500words)
You are required to select three companies from the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
You are then to obtain copies of those companies’ latest annual reports and investigate the consolidation practices of these companies. That is:
- Review the most recent financial statements of three Australian firms from different industries. Analyse, compare and discuss the firms’ disclosure of consolidation practices to explore both firms’ compliance with relevant Australian Accounting Standard AASB10 and support your arguments using relevant research literature.
Part II (approx 1500 words)
‘Financial capital maintenance ensures that profit and distributions of profit for an entity, including a group, do not derive from the mere act of acquiring another entity’s assets or acquiring an equitable interest in that other entity’s net assets (Knapp 2013, p.192.)’
(Source: Knapp, J. 2013. A reconsideration of consolidation accounting requirements and pre-acquisition dividends. Australian Accounting Review. Vol. 23 No. 3, pp. 190-207.
Discuss.
(hint: After reading the article by Knapp, identify the key terms, define them, what do you believe to is the main problem, and compare the cost and ‘new’ consolidation approach.)

Penalty for late assignments: 1 mark per working day (weekday) and no mark will be awarded after five days.
Teamwork:
- Team members must belong to the same tutorial group.

Remember, once a team is formed, it is up to you and your fellow team members to maintain team discipline. No changes to group members are allowed during the last three weeks before the submission deadline. All group members are equally responsible for the submission of the assignment.
- Any person signing up in a group needs to obtain approval from other group members PRIOR to signing up. In case there are complaints that a student signed up without prior approval from other group members, he/she will be removed from the group immediately. All complaints need to be submitted via email (using VU student email)
- Groups must assign a leader and keep all records of meetings and tasks assigned to group members. Students must meet at least three (3) times face-to-face but more often by electronic means. Meeting records must be attached at the end of your report. Marks will be allocated for your meeting logs. A suggested meeting log is attached.
- Where a group member is not cooperating or contributing to the group and the team has made all efforts to resolve the issue, the team must inform the tutor and unit coordinator/s immediately via email. Where a group does not report this matter immediately, it will not be entertained later on, especially before the due date of the assignment. The defaulting member will be given a warning and should the member continue to default, the group will continue without the defaulting member and the defaulting member will receive zero for the task.

The reflection must NOT be descriptive in nature; it should provide clear evidence of understanding of the issues under consideration with an applied review of the business provided in the task scenario.
A MINIMUM of 15 academic sources are to be referenced [NOT just online sources but also from books and journals]. The majority of these sources should be relevant, internationally peer reviewed articles/journals or accredited textbook references. Sources such as Wikipedia and the like are NOT accepted. Sources available ONLY online should be avoided.
Be mindful of how many marks are allocated based on your ability to define, analyse and apply key concepts.
To achieve the highest marks you MUST make informed comparisons between the theories and concepts you have studied and provide a reflection on how these apply to the business case. The analysis will be very well-applied and will rely heavily for support on current literature.
CASE STUDY: 40 YEARS DELIVERING A BETTER FUTURE
On April 17, 1973, 14 small French Dassault Falcon planes took to the skies from Memphis International Airport and 186 packages were delivered to 25 US cities along the East Coast; the overnight express industry was born.40 Years later, the business has a fleet of 660 freighter aircraft along with thousands of FedEx trucks delivering millions of packages and documents to over 220 countries and territories every working day. Today FedEx is providing the customer with a fully integrated system to ship packages around the world. In fact, most of the competition has built their business on the hub-and-spoke and track-and-trace models FedEx first introduced.
FedEx’s growth, innovation and success over the years is not due to any one contribution but to a great team effort of our 300,000 team members. And as business source suggests,
‘So here’s to another 40 years – we look forward to continuing building on our success story that first took off from a small airport in Tennessee one memorable evening in spring all those years ago.TECHNOLOGY AND BUSINESS CHANGE
Since trading just over 40 years ago, FedEx has developed its business alongside the development of technology. Technology is everywhere – the internet, mobile devices and social media have all contributed to bringing our world close together. At FedEx we’ve led the express transportation industry for over 2 decades with many significant technological innovations. FedEx was built upon innovation and it continues to be an integral part of the FedEx culture and business strategy. Here are just a few innovation milestones over the past 40 years:
1980: computers in FedEx vans
1984: automated shipping
1986: hand-held barcode scanners for couriers
1993: tracking software
1994: www.fedex.com
1996: online shipping
2002: FedEx PowerPad
2007: customer service live online chat
2009: SenseAware smart tracking launched in US
2010: electronic trade documents
FedEx joins Facebook2011: FedEx Ship Manager lite
2012: brand new start for www.fedex.com
EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa) joins Twitter
EMEA launches SenseAwareCAMPAIGN TO ATTRACT MORE B2B
In 2008, FedEx launched a new marketing campaign directed to the Business and Business market. ‘FedEx delivers to a changing world’ was regarded as a reintroduction of FedEx’s business network to deal with the complexity of a dynamic global market. The campaign looked to deliver 5 key themes which included expansion, breadth of service, expertise, innovation, sustainability and education (FedEx, 2013).
The campaign defined the target audience as the ‘deciders’ within the procurement process of the many organisations who use the FedEx delivery system.DELIVERING MORE IN EUROPE
In today’s market, businesses need to make the most of every opportunity the can. FedEx have shown a continued strategy of expansion across Europe and delivers more of what their customers want with
– later collection times
– more deliveries before noon
– faster transit times across Europe and worldwide
With 100 new locations and over 3,600 new team members, FedEx is committed to developing further links across Europe.BUSINESS AND PROFIT
Today FedEx Corp. provides a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce and business service through companies competing collectively, operating independently and managed collaboratively, under the FedEx brand. It operates through 4 segments; FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight and FedEx Services. The FedEx Express segment offers time-certain delivery to more than 220 countries and territories.
