    Banking in Australia is dominated by four major banks: Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Westpac Banking Corporation, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, and National Australia Bank. There are several smaller banks with a presence throughout the country, and a large number of other financial institutions, such as credit unions, building societies and mutual banks, which provide limited banking-type services and are described as authorised deposit-taking Institutions. Many large foreign banks have a presence, but few have a retail banking presence.

    You are the senior auditor for Dalby Logistics Limited (DLL). Your audit firm has carried out the audit of DLL for several years but this is the first time you have been assigned as the lead auditor.
    DLL is a bulk cargo and logistics conglomerate, founded in 2010 through the merger of two companies, primarily involved with the transport of iron ore, mineral sands and forestry products. Grain (agricultural products), oil and gas, coal, manganese, and lithium are examples of other products they transport. DLL also provide warehousing services and are currently building a large ‘hub’ complex in Sydney. On completion, this facility will be leased to various exporters and importers.
    DLL has over 20 subsidiary companies and significant investment in five other companies (associates). The largest associate is Pilkington Ports Limited which gives DLL access to 4 ports across Australia. They have access arrangements with a further 15 ports across Australia (including Darwin), New Zealand, and a port presence in Malaysia and Singapore. There are a further 15 logistic centres in metropolitan and regional areas in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland.
    DLL’s operations are divided into three divisions: Ports, Logistics, and Infrastructure & Property.
    The CFO, Wayne Green, advised that they have had a successful year with a remarkable increase in profit, despite lower grain volumes and two large mine contracts ceasing due to the mines reaching their end of life. All states, except NSW, experienced an increase in revenue. The group also acquired another subsidiary, for $46.15 million, which added $16.05 million to assets and $5.8 million to liabilities. Goodwill was $35 million. Wayne Green also provided details about the following related party transactions:
    • paid to Associates: $6.85 million for stevedore services
    • received from associates: $1.05 million rental income and $4.55 million in dividends.
    • loans to key personnel: Received $2.35 million from key management personnel to finalise all outstanding monies owing as at 30/6/2017.
    • loan to Pilkington $164.4 million. The original loan was issued in 2016 for a fixed 10-year term and is subordinated to all creditors. The effective interest rate is 7.3% p.a.

    Group Marks
    For this assignment students will be assessed as a team, which means each group member will normally receive the same mark. If you have trouble with the operation of your group, ask your tutor for advice (preferably ask as a group). If some of the group feel that other members are not contributing the tutor should be informed and a group meeting held to produce a solution. In extreme cases a group member may be asked by the tutor to withdraw from the Subject, do extra work or accept a lower mark. No complaints about group operation will be considered after the assignment has been handed in to the tutor. Groups need to be formed from members of the same tutorial.
    Reminder
    Students are reminded of the principles laid down in the “Statement of Good Practice and Ethics in Informal Assessment” (pages 5 & 6 of the Faculty Handbook). Unless otherwise stated in a specific handout, all assessment tasks in this subject should be your own original work. Any collaboration with another student (or group) should be limited to those matters described in “Acceptable Behaviour” section of the Handbook. For essay questions, students should pay particular attention to the recognition of “Plagiarism” as described in that section of the Handbook (page 6). Any infringement by a student will be considered a breach of discipline and will be dealt with in accordance with Rules and By-Laws of the University. Penalties such as zero marks for assignments or subjects may be imposed.

    Assessment Guidelines
    Marking Criteria: A passing grade will be awarded to assignments adequately addressing all
    assessment criteria. Higher grades require better quality and more effort. For example, a minimum is set
    on the wider reading required. A student reading vastly more than this minimum will be better prepared
    to discuss the issues in depth and consequently their report is likely to be of a higher quality. So before
    submitting, please read through the assessment criteria very carefully. Marking guides are provided.
    Feedback: Feedback will be provided by the lecturer/tutor via Mahara, and mark via Moodle, no later
    than 2 weeks from the submission date
