Course Description and Scope

This course builds on students’ knowledge and skills acquired in their earlier courses like the

fundamental theoretical frameworks (e.g., contracting theory and accounting conceptual

framework covered in AB1101 and AB1102) and basic accounting, organizational and decision-

making concepts and techniques (covered in introductory accounting and business courses).

This course equips students with a strong conceptual and technical knowledge of the recognition,

measurement and disclosures of various financial statement elements. The course begins with a

discussion of general recognition and measurement issues and concepts including various

income concepts. The course proceeds with a critical examination of specific recognition and

measurement issues and problems as well as current and forthcoming authoritative

pronouncements relating to various elements of the financial statements.

This course also emphasizes skills and attitudes that are essential to accounting professionals.

The course aims to further develop students’ skills of inquiry, research, analytical and critical

thinking, problem solving, team work, communication and presentation. Important attitudes and

values that the course seeks to cultivate in students include ethical, professional and social

awareness and responsibilities, receptiveness to differing views and a passion for proactive self-

learning. The course learning objectives and their assessment methods are as follows.

Learning and Teaching Methods

This course adopts a seminar-style approach. Seminar sessions are held twice a week. The

seminars are designed to provide students with opportunities for interactions and discussions

with other seminar participants to discover, learn and assimilate knowledge, refine skills and

inculcate positive attitudes and values, and to apply them in problem solving. To maximize

collaborative learning, every student MUST come fully prepared (by completing the assigned

pre-seminar readings and requirements before each seminar) to actively participate and

constructively discuss, critique and challenge other students’ and the course instructor’s ideas

and views during the seminar sessions.

Students are encouraged to form study groups with members within and/or outside their seminar

groups and to use the course and seminar EdveNTUre sites to share questions, thoughts and ideas

throughout the course. This will promote active learning outside seminars and among students.

Students are required to keep abreast with current developments in the accounting profession and

the business world, both locally and internationally.

Seminars: Two seminars weekly, in assigned seminar rooms, of two hours each except for

Teaching Weeks 4, 7 and 10. Please refer to the seminar outlines posted on

EdveNTUre at least a week before the respective seminars for detailed pre-seminar

readings and requirements.

AC2101 Semester 2 2013-14 3

Postings: Students are responsible for checking their NTU email accounts, the course site and

their instructor’s seminar site in EdveNTUre for instructions and announcements.

Course Assessments

The course assessment comprises the following components:

Components Weights (%) Individual Group

(1) Seminar participation 15 *

(2) Group presentation 15 * *

(3) Term quiz 20 *

(4) Final examination 50 *

Total 100

(1) Seminar participation

Seminar participation is assessed based on the quality and consistency of each student’s

participation in seminar discussions over the entire course. Participation can take the form of

responding to questions posed, asking reflective questions and sharing insightful comments with

other participants during seminars. Voluntary participation is strongly encouraged but instructors

may use “cold call” to elicit participation.

(2) Group presentation

Students will be assigned to complete a comprehensive presentation question as a group (up to 5

students per group). The presentation requires students to (i) conduct research on and analyze

recognition, measurement and/or disclosure-related issues, (ii) apply relevant concepts that they

have acquired from their own research and from the current course and/or earlier courses and

(iii) make well-reasoned comments and/or recommendations. To be fair to all groups, instructors

will NOT respond to any queries relating to a presentation question prior to the presentation. If a

group is unsure of aspects relating to the presentation question, they need to make the relevant

assumptions.

Each group is required to make a timed (25~30 minutes) presentation of their findings during the

seminar session. Penalties will be imposed if group presentations are exceedingly long. Every

member must present as students are assessed individually for their communication and

presentation skills. Students are assessed as a group for the content in their presentation and

submission. In the unfortunate event that free-riding occurs, group members should raise the

issue ahead of the actual presentation so that the free-rider is given the opportunity to rectify the

situation. Where the free-rider does nothing to rectify the situation despite the warning, penalties

will be imposed on the free-rider.

Groups are required to email only their powerpoint presentation slides (i.e., no written report is

needed) to their respective instructor by the deadline stipulated in the table below. Please ensure

that citation is properly done if the groups use materials from various reports/books etc. For more

information, please refer to http://academicintegrity.ntu.edu.sg/for-students/resources-for-

students/. On the day of the presentation, all members of the group must hand in a declaration

Page 4: AC2101 S2 20132014 Course Outline

AC2101 Semester 2 2013-14 4

of academic integrity (available from the course website in Edventure). In addition, a copy of

the slides must be uploaded on the AC2101 course main site (under the Assignments folder)

which will process all group submissions through Turnitin (the anti-plagiarism software). A

student guide for the Turnitin submission is available on the course main site in the Content

folder. Penalties will be imposed for late submission and presentation slides that are highly

similar to that of another group.

Groups are to present based on their submitted slides with no changes allowed after submission

to their instructor. Attire for the presentation is business casual, i.e., long-sleeved shirt for men

(no tie required) and the equivalent for ladies. Within a week after their presentation, groups

must post their amended presentation slides (based on feedback from their instructor and peers)

on their seminar group’s EdveNTUre discussion board.

assignment done in Seminar 1 is tentative and is subject to changes after the add-drop

period.

(3) Term quiz

The objectives of the open book quiz are to (a) assess students’ understanding of the conceptual

and technical issues covered in the course to-date and (b) ensure that students are keeping up

with their coursework and not leave all the studying to the very end of the semester.

The quiz is scheduled in Week 7. The quiz will be conducted during the course lecture timeslot

that week. It is scheduled to be on 28 February 2014 (Friday) at 4.30 pm in LKC-LT. Further

details will be given during the course.

(4) Final examination

The final exam will be a two-and-half-hour open-book examination on 8 May 2014 (Thursday)

at 1.00 pm. Students will be tested on their mastery of concepts and issues covered in the course.

Academic Integrity

Good academic work depends on honesty and ethical behaviour. As a student of Nanyang

Business School and part of your training to become a respected and successful professional,

you are expected to observe and conduct yourself in full accordance with the NTU Honour Code

(http://academicintegrity.ntu.edu.sg/for-everyone/shared-values-honour-code/) and exhibit the

highest standard of academic integrity at all times. Truth, Trust and Justice form the core of the

NTU community’s shared values.

It is important that you recognize your responsibilities to understand and apply the principles of

academic integrity in all the work that you do while in NTU and later on in your career. Not

knowing the requirements of academic integrity does not excuse academic dishonesty. You need

to actively equip yourself with strategies to avoid all forms of academic dishonesty, including

plagiarism, academic fraud, collusion and cheating.

Please ensure that you fully understand the discussion on academic integrity posted on

http://academicintegrity.ntu.edu.sg. Consult your instructor(s) if you are in doubt. Students are

strongly encouraged to immediately report all acts of academic dishonesty to their instructors or

the school.
