    Argumentative Presentation/Essay – – Issues
    Introduction and Context
    External students may complete this in groups with other external students or individually.
    Students are expected to engage in argument by presenting a particular considered position on a
    management accounting issue and by being able to discuss opposing viewpoints. The following are key
    aspects of this assessment:
      Engaging in a discussion.
      Conducting an argument.
      Discussing opposing points of view.
      Responding to questions.
    The following examples are drawfrom recent research where experienced accountants and employers
    of accounting graduates have been asked to describe some of the communication skills that they believe
    graduates need to possess:
      Expressing a view and persuading others of its merit.
      Supporting and backing up view with evidencnd facts.
      Negotiating – entering into a discussion with the aim of reaching agreement or a settlement.
      le to defend a point of view during a verbal argument.
      Being able to critique the arguments presented by peers in a professional manner. ( Profesional
    manner is a key point. The critique of an opposing point of view should never be destructive or
    personal.)
    This comment by a senior accountant who specialises in forensic accounting sums up why these
    communication skills are so significant. There’s no point in anyone being able to sit in a corner, work out
    an answer, and then being incapable of communicating to the managers and other people around you
    what you’ve found, and why you think it’s important (Van Akkeren et al. 2013, p.206). This assessment is
    a developmental exercise. The intention is to assist students to develop valuable communications skills
    and exposure to the type of arguments/discussions which occur between colleagues in accounting and
    business, and in arguments/discussions with clients (both current and potential clients).
    Leading accounting communications researchers find that the ability to be an accomplished negotiator,
    debater and persuasive communicator are skills that are acquired over many years in the profession. The
    finest communicators are constantly refining their skills, based on experience and observing other
    communicators. Nonetheless, your studies is the perfect time to start working on these skills and
    appreciating their importance in business careers. This assessment is the start of that process. Enjoy it
    and use it as a valuable learning opportunity. You may also like to include it in your resume. Remember
    that good communication skills are highly regarded by employers of accounting graduates. The skill to
    justify and communicate accounting advice and ideas in straightforward collaborative contexts involving
    both accountants and non-accountants is a learning outcome of graduates of Bachelor accounting
    programs.

    UniSA is committed to fostering and preserving the scholarly values of curiosity, experimentation, critical
    appraisal and integrity. Students are expected to demonstrate high standards of academic integrity.
    Academic integrity is a term used at university to describe honest behaviour as it relates to all academic
    work (for example papers written by staff, student assignments, conduct in exams, etc) and is the
    foundation of university life. One of the main principles is respecting other people's ideas and not
    claiming them as your own. Anyone found to have used another person's ideas without proper
    acknowledgement is deemed guilty of Academic Misconduct and the University considers this to be a
    serious matter.
