BFA713 AUDIT AND ASSURANCE ASSIGNMENT INTRODUCTION The assignment is based on Bellamy's Australia Limited (ASX code BAL). Students may choose to submit the assignment individually, or in groups up to three students (maximum). For students who decided to do it in groups, they can choose their group members from any of the three workshops (i.e., Monday 9:00 am, Wednesday 10:00 am and Wednesday 5:00 pm). The assignment is to be submitted to the Turnitin Dropbox in BFA713 MyLO site by 2:00 pm on Monday, May 15, 2017. This assignment is worth 15% of the total mark for BFA713. The objective of the assignment is to assess students' understanding and application of the concepts and theories learnt in BFA713 Auditing and Assurance. The assignment also aims to evaluate students' ability to apply the knowledge and skills learnt in the unit in analysing a real company from the auditor's perspective. The framework of the Australian Auditing Standards (AUASB) and the corresponding International Standards on Auditing (ISA) should guide the analysis. In analysing the company, it is important that students understand the company operations, strategies, internal and external environment and the relevant financial and non-financial information. To gain such understanding, students have to conduct a thorough analysis of the company and its environment. Hence, the successful completion of the assignment requires extensive research on Bellamy's Australia. Students also need to demonstrate their ability to critically evaluate the various pieces of information gathered in identifying potential key audit risks that would influence the audit of the company. Apart from assessing those abilities, the assignment also aims to assess students' ability to present a written report in a professional manner by taking into consideration the target audience and the formatting requirements.
