    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.)

    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.
    Submission requirements

    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.

    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.

    Suggestions  and  expectations  from  the  Course
    Coordinator: Assignment Two
    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.

    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.
