	Accounting for Sustainable Management - Assignment  1
	Accounting for Sustainable Management
	Assessment – Case Study and Assignments
	Case study
	Since its inception in 2007, Paraway Pastoral Company Limited ("Paraway")
	has become one of the largest property owners and operators in Australia,
	with a combined land holding of over 4.4 million hectares. Paraway
	currently operates 21 pastoral enterprises across three diversified rainfall
	zones including Northern Australia, Northern New South Wales, and
	Southern Australia. Collectively, the properties have the capacity to carry
	approximately 200,000 cattle and 240,000 sheep. Limited dryland and
	irrigated cropping exists in each of the regions for the production of hay,
	silage and grain crops for external sales & feeding livestock. (Source:
	Paraway website)
	You have been employed by the company as an accountant after graduating
	from RMIT University two months ago. After reviewing your CV and noticing
	that you have successfully completed several sustainability related courses
	during your study, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Paraway assigned
	three independent but related tasks to you. The three tasks are as follows.
	(Note: Paraway is a real-life entity. All of your research, analysis,
	discussions and recommendations relating to this case study should be
	based on real world information and condition.)
	2  Accounting for Sustainable Management
	Assignment One
	Content requirements
	The CEO has noticed an emerging and increasing trend of discussion about
	sustainability from businesses and some of Paraway’s competitors are
	adopting sustainability frameworks and practices. The CEO feels that at the
	moment he does not know too much about sustainability and its relevance
	to business. He is also considering whether Paraway should adopt
	sustainable frameworks and practices including producing sustainability
	reports to external stakeholders. He has asked you to conduct research and
	provide a formal business report to him, addressing the following questions.
	1. What is sustainability? Is the notion of sustainability relevant to business
	and accounting? Justify your answer.
	2. Is the notion of sustainability relevant to the pastoral industry in which
	Paraway operates? Justify your answer.
	3. What are the specific sustainability issues that Paraway is facing? Justify
	your answer.
	4. If sustainability is relevant to Paraway, how might Paraway embrace
	sustainability in its operations? Justify your recommendations.

	Suggestions and expectations from the Course Coordinator:
	Assignment One
	Assignment One requires you to conduct independent research on issues
	relating to sustainability and its relevance to a pastoral-related business in
	Australia. To successfully complete this assignment, your readings should
	start with, but not limited to, the Component One materials (Topics 1-3) of
	the course. You need to search for materials that are outside of prescribed
	texts, and it is expected that these materials should form the basis of your
	assignment. While reading these materials, it is suggested that you apply
	your learning from the readings to this case study (in particular, the four
	questions that are asked by the CEO) – this will enhance the relevance of
	your reading and writing.
	In terms of your writing, quality (how well you communicate your work and
	how well the arguments are formed) is more important than quantity (the
	number of words written) – this is particularly important for business report
	writing. The readers often are the senior managers in your business
	organisation, they have limited time to read the report. That is, your
	writing needs to be clear and straight to the point. Business reports are
	used to assist in decision-making and your report is used to persuade the
	readers to adopt your idea or a particular approach. To achieve this, you
	will need to collect relevant information, identify problems and most
	importantly, make suitable recommendations to solve these problems.
	Your writing, in general, should always provide logical reasoning. You are
	expected to demonstrate professionalism by presenting a high quality
	4  Accounting for Sustainable Management
	written document and adhere to the referencing style that is detailed in
	the RMIT Business reference guide.
	Particular expectations relating to each question:
	1.  What is sustainability? Is the notion of sustainability relevant to
	business and accounting? Justify your answer.
	When defining sustainability and arguing the relevance of sustainability to
	business and accounting, your answer is expected to go beyond course
	materials - you are expected to draw from your research, and to explicitly
	link the importance of sustainability in business and accounting practices.
	You are expected to search for discussions from different parties (e.g.,
	business leaders, international organisations, politicians, or various interest
	groups) as well as academic journals. Your discussion also needs to consider
	the changing and heightened social expectations on business operations. In
	doing so, you also need to discuss the relationships between accounting,
	accountability and sustainability.
	2.  Is the notion of sustainability relevant to pastoral industry in which
	Paraway operates? Justify your answer.
	In this part, you are expected to link sustainability to the pastoral industry.
	This involves researching, identifying and analysing sustainability issues in
	the industry at the world level and in Australia, the expectations (in
	general) from the stakeholders, and the competitors of Paraway. You will
	need to look for evidence of what other business entities are doing as they
	pertain to sustainability (e.g., which competitors are currently adopting a
	particular framework and practice or producing sustainability reports).
	Particular industry initiatives or frameworks need to be addressed.
	3.  Is the notion of sustainability relevant to Paraway? Justify your
	answer.
	In this part, you are expected to explicitly link sustainability to Paraway.
	This involves researching and analysing the current market position and
	sustainable practices of Paraway, particular issues that Paraway is facing,
	as well as the expectations from its stakeholders. You will need to analyse
	the strength as well as future opportunities or improvements for your
	entity.
	4.  If sustainability is relevant to Paraway, how might Paraway
	embrace  sustainability  in  its  operations?  Justify  your
	recommendations.
	Your discussion is expected to be based on your work on the previous three
	questions. Your recommendations should be specific. Avoid offering
	recommendations that are too general (e.g., ‘Paraway should embrace
	sustainability practices’ without further detail), less relevant to Paraway,
	or not realistic to implement.
	Read carefully the marking rubric (next page), and understand how your
	work will be assessed.

	Accounting for Sustainable Management - Assignment  7
	Assignment Two
	Content requirements
	Assume the CEO is satisfied with your report (Assignment One) and within
	Assignment One you have recommended Paraway to produce sustainability
	reports to external stakeholders. To follow up, the CEO asks you and your
	colleagues in the accounting department to work as a group, completing a
	second business report to address his following requirements.
	1. Why should Paraway provide sustainability report?
	2. To whom should these reports be addressed?
	3. What information should be reported?
	4. How should the information be reported?
	Within the report, the CEO also asks your group to apply one theory into
	your discussion to explain and justify your recommendations as to why, to
	whom, what and how information should be reported.
	Submission requirements

	Coordinator: Assignment Two
	
	 Paraway Pastoral Company Limited   会计 assignment 代写
	Assignment Two has a focus on external reporting and applying a
	theoretical framework to sustainable management. To successfully
	complete this assignment, your readings should start with, but not be
	limited to, the Component Two materials (Topics 4-6) of the course. You
	need to search for materials that are outside of prescribed texts and these
	materials form the base of your assignment.
	Your recommendations on the sustainability report are expected to be
	supported by one theory (i.e. legitimacy theory, institutional theory, the
	ethical branch of stakeholder theory, or the managerial branch of
	stakeholder theory) that you have studied in Topic 4. To apply a theory
	well, it is suggested that you explain the theory first. Applying more than
	one theory is not recommended as you will need to justify why one theory
	is not sufficient and explain the second theory well (this will take up your
	word limit).
	Accounting for Sustainable Management - Assignment  9
	The theory that you choose to apply should be explicitly applied to your
	discussion on all of the four questions asked by the CEO. That is, the chosen
	theory and the relevant concepts need to be explained by referring to
	relevant literature from academic journals (addressing Q1); the chosen
	theory will direct discussion in identifying the users of the report
	(addressing Q2) and the associate expectations and information needs of
	the users identified (addressing Q3); and, the adopting of a specific
	reporting guideline need to be justified by the chosen theory (addressing
	Q4). Please note that different theories will derive different answers of the
	questions. The link between your theory and your answer (i.e., the way you
	apply the chosen theory) to each question needs to be explicit and specific.
	To demonstrate your problem-solving skills, it is strongly suggested that you
	link your analysis and argument specifically to Paraway. Avoid being too
	general. Using the findings from your Assignment One, identify specific
	sustainability issues that Paraway is facing as well as providing
	recommendations on how to report these issues. The most important skill
	that you are expected to develop from this task is your reasoning skill and
	application skill. That is, you are expected to justify your arguments in the
	context of Paraway.
	As this assignment is a group assignment it is suggested that you plan and
	form a group early. Find out the way and times that suit your group
	members to communicate with each other, clearly work out the group
	member’s tasks and responsibilities. Although initially you might allocate
	each member a different task to complete it is highly recommended that all
	group members actively work together participating each task and working
	out the best options for the whole assignment. Make sure that your group
	leaves enough time for final shaping up of the assignment.
	Read carefully the marking rubric (next page), and understand how your
	work will be assessed.

	Assignment Three
	Content requirements
	Assuming the CEO is satisfied with both of your reports (Assignment One
	and Two), you are now required to formulate a Sustainability Balanced
	Scorecard (SBSC) to explicitly translate Paraway’s strategy into a set of
	financial and non-financial performance measures, covering a range of
	perspectives. You are asked to present and discuss a suitable SBSC, using a
	business report format. In completing your business report, please address
	the following questions:
	1.  Briefly outline what a “strategic map” is and then develop a map for
	Paraway? Please put a specific focus on its sustainability objectives
	and motivate your objectives’ formulation concerning Paraway.
	2.  From the strategic map, you should be able to provide a Sustainable
	Balanced Scorecard to Paraway:
	a.  Choose one of the three approaches to the development of a
	Sustainable Balanced Scorecard (Topic 9) and explain your
	choice with reference to Paraway.
	b.  Once you have chosen the approach to the development of a
	SBSC (point a), show your classification of the strategic
	objectives (point 1) into the perspectives of your suggested
	SBSC. Please justify your classification with specific
	reference to the sustainability objectives.
	c.  For each sustainability objective (b) identify one or more
	suitable/reasonable indicators through which you would
	advise to measure the fulfilment of the objective. Justify
	your choice of indicator/s. That is, how do you know that the
	chosen indicators can capture and measure the targeted
	objectives?
	3.  Identify and explain the eventual impact/s of the indicator/s you
	have chosen with reference to the sustainability objectives of your
	suggested SBSC onto the organisation’s decision making.
	Within the report you should provide at least the following figures: a
	strategic map for Paraway and a SBSC.

	Suggestions  and  expectations  from  the  Course
	Coordinator: Assignment Three
	Assignment Three has a focus on a strategic tool of management
	accounting: a Sustainable Balanced Scorecard (SBSC). To successfully
	complete this assignment, your readings should start with, but not be
	limited to, the Component Three materials (Topics 7, 8, and 9) of the
	course. You also need to search for materials that are outside of prescribed
	texts.
	Your recommendations about the organisation’s Sustainable Balanced
	Scorecard are expected to be directed by one approach that you have
	learnt from Topic 9. To justify your approach, you are suggested to outline
	the three approaches and emphasise (with an articulated and detailed
	discussion) the one you recommended for the organisation.
	Please remember that the discussion is not just theoretical as you must
	stress the reasons why you think your SBSC approach is the most suitable to
	Paraway.
	Applying more than one approach is not recommended as you need to take
	into account your word limit and your arguments in the business report
	should be coherent with the approach you have chosen.
	The approach that you recommend should be explicitly applied while
	addressing the questions of the assignment.
	Particular emphasis on the sustainability objectives and their measurement
	(indicators) are expected to be discussed in the following points: 2 b, c and
	3. There is not one best answer as you are required to apply your critical
	thinking to the case study, therefore you should direct your attention to
	ensure coherence to Paraway’s real-world situation in addressing those
	assignment points and motivate your choices.
	Areas  for  you  to  explore  should  include  sustainability
	issues/priorities/focuses that are of strategic importance to Paraway, as
	well as the sustainable achievements that Paraway is proud of. These are
	expected to be considered in your strategic map and SBSC from the
	organisation’s management perspective (not from a stakeholders’,
	shareholders’ or other external parties’ perspective).
	In terms of point 3, it is suggested that you consider the impact/s of your
	choice of indicators for the sustainability objectives in the organisation’s
	decision making processes. You are expected to consider any possible
	positive and negative outcomes from the selection of your indicators (e.g.
	changes on the production processes, costing system, organisational culture
	and climate, social perception of the organisation, etc.). In this discussion,
	you can follow the causal relationships that you were required to explicitly
	elaborate on in the strategic map of the organisation, which (of course)
	14  Accounting for Sustainable Management
	would continue to inform your SBSC (independently from your chosen
	development approach).
	It should be pointed out that real world issues are often complex and there
	is no definite right or wrong decisions. The most important skill that you
	are expected to develop from this assignment is your reasoning skills and
	application skills. That is, you are expected to justify your arguments
	coherently with the approach you have chosen and the prompts of your
	case study.
	Read carefully the marking rubric (from the next page), and understand
	how your work will be assessed.
