The objective of each seminar is to provide you with a strong theoretical and practical grounding in the topics covered in class. It is important to note that this unit utilises a 'flipped' model of instruction. In a 'flipped' unit students must participate fully in all tasks. The emphasis in 'flipped' seminars is centred on analysis, application and the sharing of conceptual understanding. The seminar gives students opportunities to work on various issues to develop an in-depth understanding of the materials. It is essential that students attend all their seminars to develop a greater appreciation of the topics covered and to prepare themselves for the CPA Program examinations. Students are expected to prepare themselves appropriately for each seminar and be ready to share information, analyse and debate issues pertaining to the week’s topic. Active participation is expected in a range of different learning activities during the seminars. |
| Syllabus: | This unit examines a number of contemporary and emerging global issues in order to familiarise you with the business environment you are likely to be operating in as an accountant. It is also a vehicle for advancing the development of professional values, ethics and attitudes. |
