    Kylie is the exclusive sales agent in Australia for the New York based cosmetics company, Classy Cosmetics (‘CC’). Kylie was recently approached by the Los Angeles based cosmetics company, Glamour Lady (‘GL’) to act as GL’s exclusive sales agent in Australia. GL has offered Kylie a lucrative commission arrangement. GL is a competitor to CC, offering a very similar range of products to those available from CC. GL has suggested to Kylie that she can appoint anyone she likes to act as a ‘front’ for her, so that CC do not become aware of Kylie’s role with GL. With reference to applicable agency law principles, advise Kylie whether there are any legal issues and why, if she proceeds with the above arrangement as proposed to her by GL. (25 marks) QUESTION 2 (Note: This question is separate from the question above): Access the link below and read the article by Ms Adele Ferguson, in the Sydney Morning Herald (June 6, 2020) titled: “Insurers deny business insurance claims as battle begins”. https://www.smh.com.au/business/banking-and-finance/insurers-deny-business-insurance-claims-as-battlebegins-20200605-p55000.html Having regard to Ms Ferguson’s article and applicable Australian insurance law principles, identify and explain the key business and regulatory issues addressed in this article.

    This 2800 word report should describe and analyse the positive and negative aspects of three different procurement methods for construction projects. You should briefly define both conventional and new procurement methods. One conventional and two modern types of procurement are recommended for the report. Benefits and problems for the client/developer, the consultants, the builders, the subcontractors and the endusers should all be considered. The report must be divided into subsections and must be provided with an executive summary of one paragraph, a contents page at the beginning as well as page numbers. Referencing should conform to the WSU Harvard system. You are advised to consult the electronic journals available in the library for reference sources. The report should describe the characteristics of the three contrasting procurement systems which you have selected. A chart to compare and contrast the three choices would be helpful. You should express an opinion about the kinds of projects which are suited to the different procurement methods and make recommendations about this as if you were advising a potential owner/developer. Remember that you have ethical obligations when recommending a course of action to a potential client. Support your opinions with high quality references. You should also include a disclaimer stating that you have no conflict of interest in terms of the views you have expressed.

    ACCT20080 Ethics & Governance: Individual Capstone Project
    Capstone: The what, why and how
    This capstone introduces you to researching and interpreting the voluntary disclosures of a publicly listed company to determine its governance and ethical outlook. The knowledge you have gained from modules 6–9 are of high importance to this exercise. These skills are highly valued by business specialists such as:
    •Corporate governance practitioners and consultants•Business and investment analysts•Auditors•Corporate accountants and•Investment funds looking for companies to invest in.
    Remember that it is a company’s stakeholders who determine what is acceptable and not acceptable for that company to do. Therefore, to determine where a company is looking to for its guidance (for example, shareholders, powerful stakeholders, all stakeholders) is an important step in identifying a company’slikely ethical outlook. A bank that is focused upon its most powerful shareholders will talk to them directly in their voluntary disclosures, and this will manifest itself in how the company conducts itself in society. In contrast, a company that is vitally concerned about how society views its actions relating to the environment will disclose information suitable to thataudience, and will probably conduct its affairs in a complementary manner.
    Investors seeking to invest in companies committed to sustainable operations may choose the latter company over the former (however, there are many other considerations such as the company’sreturn on investment record that cannot be ignored), while an investment fund that needs to grow its own return on investor funds might choose the former to invest in.
    This capstone project isnot about making judgments concerning the likely ethics of a company; we simply do not have enough information on hand to make such a judgment. And remember that a company wholly focused on profits and returns to shareholders can be justa ethical (in the eyes of its stakeholders) as one who takes an interest in its environmental “footprint”. What is of interest to us is that each company is different and can be ethical in different ways. This capstone is about investigating andcoming to a conclusion about a company’slikely ethical and governance outlook. You will read the company’s own disclosures, apply appropriate theories and come to reasonable conclusions, all of which you will report upon.
    The following steps are abouthow you will undertake this assessment.
    Requirements
    You have been provided with an ASX company code.You can go here to locate it. You should then go to this ASX site athttps://www.asx.com.au/prices/company-information.htm to locate your company’s name and further details such as the company’s web address. You may even find the company’s latest financial report located there.
    If you are studying ACCT20074 or ACCT20075 this term, you will notice that you have already been allocated the same company.
    Once you have your company, you are required to research and report on the company, its industry and its likely governance and ethical outlook. You are to provide a report in the following structure:
    1.Title sheet: Must contain your name and student ID, the Unit name and code and the assignment title.2.Executive summary: A brief overview of the report in no more than two paragraphs. The reader should understand the scope, reason and outcomes of the report by reading the executive summary.3.Introduction: Provide a more detailed “road map” of the report, including:oThe purpose of the reportoWhat research you have doneoWhat theories you have appliedoWhat the essential outcomes are.4.Report: Your responses to the following four requirements go here -2,500 words.5.Conclusion: Your overall conclusion on the company’s likely governance and ethical outlook, and briefly how your conclusion was supported by evidence and theory.6.Reference list: Use APA. Every document and theory must be referenced.

  • [ANSWERED] Recently, Integrated Reporting has been receiving immense attention from the…

    Recently, Integrated Reporting has been receiving immense attention from the public. Under , companies provide more information on the broader health of the organisations and the challenges and opportunities they face in the future (forward-looking information), rather than focusing on analysing past financial results. This includes more focus on active governance, resource use and exposure, strategic performance, and management of material risk to create and preserve value. This information is supposed to enhance shareholders’ understanding of the firm (Simnett and Huggins, 2015; KPMG and Financial Executives Research Foundation 2011). Some studies (e.g. Lee and Yeo, 2016, Zhou, Simnett and Green, 2017; Barth, Cahan, Chen and Venter, 2017) show that firms valuation is positively associated with disclosure, but these analyses are mainly based on data from South Africa, because only firms in South Africa are required to issue integrated report mandatorily. Prior studies in other countries are therefore sparse. Recently, firms in Australia are voluntarily starting to report non-financial and non-quantitative information in financial statements and more than 40% of Australia’s biggest 200 companies are currently using the principles of in their annual reports in 2018. This shows that there must be some benefits associated with in the Australian context. Now suppose that you are working on a project related to how market participants in Australia benefit from integrated reporting, when compared to traditional financial statements. Specifically, please develop a research proposal that analyses the nature of information included in and examines how one participant in the market (e.g. shareholders, managers, auditors, regulators, financial intermediaries, etc.) benefit from the additional information provided through . You need to select your one variable of interest for this research. Possible variables include, but not limit to, accounting performance, stock performance, audit fees, analysts following, etc. The research proposal should include the following structure: 1. An introduction and background to the above-mentioned issue. (Maximum 500 words). You need to state your research question clearly in the introduction. Background information should include motivation for conducting this research. 2. A literature review on voluntary engagement of integrated reporting (at least 3 published academic refereed articles) and the variable of interest (at least 3 published academic refereed articles). For literature you have to focus on the articles published (no working papers) in the academic journals during last ten years (2010 to 2019). Your literature review should provide evidence that you have carefully examined the academic refereed articles (altogether at least 3 + 3 = 6 articles), understand them, and have been able to summarise the essential content by integrating them into your own arguments and perspective. (Maximum 800 words) 3. Development of hypotheses. After reviewing the existing literature, you need to identify some important research gap and how possible findings of your study could fill this gap. You have to provide logical/ theoretical reasoning to develop your hypothesis. The hypothesis has to be developed along the lines of examining the relationship between voluntary assurance of sustainability reports and your variables 3 | Page of interest. (Maximum 800 words) 4. Research methods/design, including (Maximum 700 words) a. sources of information to be used to gather relevant data b. sampling techniques c. definition of variables (dependent, independent and some relevant control variables) to be used in the models d. models to be used to examine the hypothesis/ hypotheses
