Potential Frequently Asked Questions – ACCT2110 Case Assignment

The following questions are expected to be raised by students in relation to the ACCT2110

case study. Any additional questions asked before the submission date and will be to this

document to ensure all students have the same information.

1. The case assignment requires students to reference at least two academic articles to support

their answers to Q3. What qualifies as an academic article

Answer: An academic article is a scholarly work published in a peer-reviewed journal or

conference proceedings. Academic articles are typically published in scholarly journals rather

than general websites, blogs, or news sources. Articles from the general websites, newspapers

or business magazines are not academic articles.

To find academic articles, students are encouraged to use Google Scholar

(https://scholar.google.com/), a freely accessible search engine that indexes academic

journals, books, and conference papers. Simply enter relevant keywords related to your topic

and refine your search using filters such as publication date and citation count.

2. Do I need to include AASB 15 in the reference list

Answer: It depends. If you include in-text references relating to AASB 15, you have to

include a full reference in your reference list. When referencing accounting standards, avoid

copying large sections of the accounting standards. Instead, focus on interpreting the

standard, as excessive quotations may cause you to exceed the page limit.

Referencing AASB correctly:

The first time you mention an AASB standard, write its full title. For example: AASB 16

Leases. After the first mention, you can use the abbreviation. For example, AASB 16.

Reference the specific section of the AASB using either of the following 2 formats.

AASB 102:12

AASB 102 para. 12

3. What referencing style should I follow

Answer: Use APA referencing for in-text references other than AASBs and for your reference

list. For guidance on APA referencing, refer to the university’s library resource:

https://guides.library.uq.edu.au/referencing b=g&d=a&group_id=15017

The APA referencing guidance on standards can be adapted for accounting standards.

4. Is there a specific similarity level I should be aware of

Answer: There is no required maximum percentage requirement for the similarity level.

Plagiarism is reviewed on a case-by-case basis by examination officers. It’s acceptable if the

similarity is primarily due to the case document or the accounting standard.

5. Are references from government boards or treasuries considered academic references

No, these are not academic references.

6. The three-page limit includes the reference list. Can other information be presented on the

same page as the reference list

Answer: Yes, the 3-page limit includes everything, including the reference list. That means

the reference list must be within the 3 pages and you can present other information on the

same page as the list of references – just ensure you have clearly separated them using

headings.

7. Is there a specific format for naming the document

Answer: your submission will appear under your name in the Turn-it-in system; therefore, we

are not overly concerned about this. For your own reference, you may like to use this format:

ACCT2110_Case_Study_Submission_S2_2025

8. Are narrations required under the journal entries

Narrations are not required, and marks are not specifically allocated for them. However, if

you feel that your journal entries are not clear enough and would like to provide narrations,

then please do. In saying that, please be mindful of the page limit.
