Individual Project
Research Paper
All of you will soon be graduating. Most of you will pursue a professional accounting designation upon graduation. What you all know by now is that finance and accounting are closely linked. A good working knowledge of accounting is required to be a good financier and a good knowledge of financial principles is required to be a good accountant, particularly with the move to IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) with its emphasis on “fair value”.
For your individual assignment, you are each expected to pick one topic from your accounting and finance studies and clearly demonstrate your knowledge of this particular topic. You can be very granular (that is, you can choose a very narrow topic and fully explore it) or you can take a broader overview of an aspect of accounting and finance. The range of possible topics is very broad and is only limited by your imagination and interests.
For example, you might wish to write about how fair value is measured in IFRS 3: Business Combinations, which outlines the accounting required when an acquirer obtains control of a business (e.g. an acquisition or merger). Such business combinations are accounted for using the ‘acquisition method’, which generally requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. Or you might consider delving into IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which requires disclosure of information about the significance of financial instruments to an entity, and the nature and extent of risks arising from those financial instruments, both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Alternatively, IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement applies to IFRSs that require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures and provides a single IFRS framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurement. The Standard defines fair value on the basis of an ‘exit price’ notion and uses a ‘fair value hierarchy’, which results in a market-based, rather than entity-specific, measurement[1]. Of course, you are under no obligation to choose a topic from this very short list. Make it your own topic and explore something that both interests you and which you desire to know much more about.
Page length: Between 6 – 10 pages, 11 point font, line spacing of 1.5 or less. Length is far less important than quality. I would much sooner read a well written, well researched, and properly cited six-page paper than a poorly written ten-page paper. Formulas, if used, must be done using MathType or the Equation Editor. I WILL deduct marks for poor grammar, spelling mistakes and a lack of attention to detail. A high mark on this component of the course will be achieved only by submitting a high quality, properly documented research paper. You will be marked as a professional doing practitioner quality work!! Thus you should include a Cover Page, a Table of Contents, an Executive Summary and a properly done bibliography. ALL quotes and ideas drawn from other sources must be properly cited. If you are not sure how to create correct citations, please refer to www.refme.com/ca/ or find the refme app in the itunes App Store. This is an amazing resource that all of you should keep close at hand.
Submittal: Please submit your papers in both hard (paper) copy and as Word documents I intend to run many of your papers through some of the new plagiarism detection software which is now available. Because of this, papers submitted in PDF format will not be accepted.
