Your ACC384 assessment 3 includes a report. Let's have a look at your assessment and analyse the topic now.

Part A (2500 words)

You are an accountant working for the large professional services firm Brisbane Accountants Ltd. You have been asked by your supervisor to prepare a report which includes a discussion on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the effects of COVID-19. 

You need to select a company of your choice that is listed within the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), then discuss:

1. key accounting changes that have occurred in their financial accounts over the past three years.
2. effects COVID-19 had on your selected company.

Your report will be read by your team, who will be providing advisory services to other companies who also operate in this industry.

To search for an appropriate company, go to this website: http://www.annualreports.com/, click 'Browse by', then click 'Exchanges', then select ‘ASX'. The selected company's financial statements need to be prepared in accordance with IFRS (not U.S. GAAP).

Topic analysis example:

Write down the key concepts from your topic and think of as many alternative keywords and phrases as possible.

Thinking about your topic in this way forces you to describe your topic in "other words", which will provide you with some useful keyword alternatives as well as help you to cement your understanding of the topic.

For example, in this assessment, you could use 'international accounting' instead of international financial reporting'.

To start searching, it can be useful to begin with an encyclopaedia, dictionary or handbook to get an overview of your topic, or an explanation of words or concepts that are unfamiliar.
