Semester 1 and Tri 1A 2016
Essay - Information Sheet
Bentley, Fully Online, Miri Sarawak,
Mauritius, Sydney, Singapore
Essay (15%)
Due 5pm 29 th April 2016
(uploaded through Turnitin on the Blackboard site used by this unit)
In an essay between 1000 and 1500 words (+/- 5%), students are to answer the following:
“If all financial statement preparers worldwide used fair value accounting as the only measurement
method for financial disclosures then managers would have no incentive to manipulate accounting
numbers or engage in earnings management.” Discuss this comment and use at least one relevant
accounting theory and provide examples to support your agreement or disagreement to this
statement.”
In-text and end-text references are required. Students need to ensure they discuss the points they
think are the most important to ensure that the word limit is adhered to.
Students who provide no in-text references will receive a grade of zero and may be reported for
plagiarism.
A guideline rubric/marking guide will be placed on Blackboard.
Required Format
Use the word count in Microsoft Office and write the number of words at the end of the essay.
Essays should be typed using Microsoft Word with a size 11 or 12 font and using minimum 1.5
line spacing (no single spaced submissions). Left and right page margins should be at least 2 cm.
Documents submitted must be properly formatted and checked for appropriate spelling and
grammar. Documents submitted that are not formatted correctly will lose 10% automatically.
This includes appropriate punctuation and ensuring a space after a full stop or comma or semi-
colon or colon and inappropriate use of symbols.
A separate cover page is not required.
Put your Student Name and Student ID in a header in the word document and include
consecutive page numbers in the footer, so they appear on each page.
Chicago referencing style is required for in-text and end-text referencing.
University policies and procedures for academic misconduct and plagiarism will be applied.
Further information is available at academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au.
Originality reports displaying percentage (%) of similarity can be viewed by students to ensure
they have referenced where appropriate and not plagiarised. (In summary, plagiarism is not
giving due reference to work that is not your own whether copied or paraphrased). Students
can resubmit their edited documents multiple times prior to the submission time. All similarities

should be checked by students to ensure that where applicable the text is correctly referenced. A
high degree of similarity and low degree of referencing will most likely result in a low grade.
There is no specific similarity % for this unit that is acceptable but where the % is over 20%
these will be scrutinised more thoroughly. This is not to say that for example 25% is
unacceptable, this % may be acceptable as long as the items that are similar are correctly
referenced and they are not copied from others work or from internet cheat websites.
A student guide for avoiding plagiarism can be found at the following website:
http://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/global/studentbook.cfm
NOTE: When you submit your essay to Turnitin for the first time you will receive the
similarity report within 2-30 minutes. If you resubmit a second time and each time after
that it may take 24 hours to view the similarity report. Keep this in mind if you leave it to
the last minute you may not be able to see the updated similarity report.
IMPORTANT - The file name of the word document and the submission title in Turnitin needs
to reflect your location and student ID (That is labelled correctly in BOTH places) for example;
代写 Curtin ACCT3004 Accounting Theory and Analysis
- BEN_12345678 (for Bentley Students)
- FO_12345678 (for Fully Online Students)
- Miri_12345678 (for Miri Sarawak Campus Students)
- MAU_12345678 (for Mauritius Students)
- SYD_12345678 (for Sydney Students)
- SING_12345678 (for Singapore Students)
Failure to comply with labelling instructions can result in a loss of 2 Marks.
To achieve a good grade, the expectation is that your essay should be more than just a selection
of direct quotes, students should provide examples where appropriate and write and organise
their essay in a scholarly way. Marks are allocated for spelling and grammar as well as
content. A copy of a guideline marking rubric is provided in the following pages. Students
will be provided with feedback online through a rubric.

Turnitin for Students
What is Turnitin?
Turnitin is an electronic text matching system that compares text in a student assignment against
electronic text on the Internet, in published works, on commercial databases, and in assignments
previously submitted to Turnitin by students in universities all over the world, including
assignments obtained from internet sites that sell student papers.
The Turnitin system operates through a web site and is accessed using standard web browsers.
Turnitin is a text-matching system and contrary to popular belief it is NOT a standalone plagiarism
detection system. Turnitin provides an 'originality report' in which 'matched' text is underlined,
colour coded, and linked to either the original source or a similar document on its database. Turnitin
indicates the degree of text matching, and lecturers must still review the originality report and
perhaps use other measures in order to determine if plagiarism has occurred.
Why is Turnitin being used at Curtin?
Currently, Curtin degrees have prestige with employers and the wider community but this can be
threatened by breaches of academic integrity (including plagiarism). Academic integrity is essential
to the operation and reputation of Curtin courses.
Turnitin supports the implementation of Curtin University's mission and values and its policy on
plagiarism. It is one of many resources that can help ensure that academic integrity is maintained:
tutors have multiple ways of detecting plagiarism and are normally very familiar with the academic
reference sources within their discipline. Turnitin quickly identifies the source of matching text and
this assists in the decision making process, thereby helping support the maintenance of fair
assessment standards for all students.
Turnitin also has many positive benefits as a teaching and learning tool for students. In some
instances (particularly in first or second year units) students may have the opportunity to submit a
draft version of their assignment in order to generate an originality report. This report will highlight
text that matches closely to another source and this may indicate that the student needs to work on
their writing or referencing skills. The student may then choose to seek assistance to improve their
assignment before submitting it for marking.
