You must include appropriate in-text references in the APA style and at the end of the essay a reference list with hyperlinks. Format and word limit: You must upload the report to ilearn in a Microsoft Word or PDF file of no more than 1,000 words. Do not use a cover sheet but put your name and student ID on top of the first page. You must upload as ONE file only. You must not embed scanned material. DO NOT submit a different format – e.g. Apple Pages, compressed zip file, etc. It messes up the turn-it-in process which then means I need to contact you and waste your time and my time. The word limit does not include your reference list, but you must not use appendices for additional material that ‘did not fit in your word length.’ You must use Arial 12 point font with 1.15 line spacing and MS Word ‘Normal’ margins. A penalty of 10 percent of your marks applies for any failure to comply with the format and word limit rules. Topic of essay: During the Global Financial Crisis of 2008/9, it was claimed that IFRS fair value accounting techniques used in corporate reports had distorted financial reality and caused the crisis. (a) Describe those alleged problematic fair value accounting techniques and standards, and state if you agree with the criticisms and why (10 marks). (b) In the period 2009-2020 do you think IFRS fair value standards have improved? State your reasons and evidence (10 marks). (c) In the event of a major economic downturn in 2020 or later do you think assets will be appropriately measured by IFRS fair value accounting standards? Explain (10 marks). General requirements Label each section clearly. In each section, get straight to the point of the argument and do not waste space with ‘general background information’ etc. Note: ACCG3008 students may not be experts on fair value accounting, but there is so much material on this subject available on the internet at all levels, novice bystander explanations through to advanced professional, that you will have no trouble to understand the main issues. Your marks/30 will be converted to your 7\% ACCG3008 assessment mark. Instructions continued over pages/ Turnitin and WARNINGS about originality.

Extensions and late penalty I’ve worked really hard on my essay but just when I was going to spend a few days putting the finishing touches on it I’ve become sick. What should I do? There are some ‘do’s and a ‘don’t’ here: • DO submit a formal request for Special Consideration, following the process outlined in the Special Consideration policy which is available here: https://students.mq.edu.au/study/my-study-program/special-consideration Your application is assessed centrally (i.e. not by me) and if it is approved, I then determine the appropriate response - e.g. by granting an extension. • DO submit your application quickly – note that there is a time limit for applications. • DO specify the Unit, the assessment task and the length of the extension you are applying for. Bear in mind that extensions are almost never granted for periods longer than the period of illness – i.e. if you have a medical certificate for three days you will only get a maximum three-day extension. • DON’T wait to submit your assignment before receiving the outcome from your Special Consideration request. There is a delay between your submitting the request and it being forwarded and processed by me, so do not wait to submit the assignment while you wait for the outcome. As noted above, if you are sick for three days before the submission date, even if your application is successful you will only receive a maximum of a three day extension, but your application will almost certainly take longer than three days to process. Therefore, if you wait until you receive the official outcome to lodge your assignment, it will probably still be so late as to get few marks! Late penalties No extensions will be granted. There will be a deduction of 10\% of the total available marks made from the total awarded mark for each 24 hour period or part thereof that the submission is late (for example, 25 hours late in submission – 20\% penalty). This penalty does not apply for cases in which an application for Special Consideration is made and approved. ... Purchase answer to see full attachment
