The topic focused lecture for week 10 will provided in the learning module. There will be no tutorial test this week.

Following the field trip, you are required to complete the following assessment task.

Assessment task

Following the lecture and field visit to the Finance Services Centre at ECU you are required to complete a reflective writing piece worth 5% of overall mark [five marks of the 25 allocated to the assignment] as follows:

“Understanding the capabilities required to effectively apply the skills and knowledge acquired during your degree studies is critical for when you graduate and transition to the workplace.

In this activity you will consider the capabilities required to effectively perform in the accounts payable, accounts receivable, and asset management areas of an accounting practice, drawing on your own experience and the information provided by the ECU Financial Services Centre.

You will need to write a personal reflection (maximum 350 – 500 words) on the following points:

  • What capabilities – both discipline-focused and non-technical (e.g. generic or soft skills, such as communication and team working) - do you feel are critical to operating effectively in accounts payable, accounts receivable, and asset management areas of accounting.

  • How confident are you that you have developed these capabilities and what gaps do you feel you might have?

  • What are some key actions you can take to further develop these capabilities to make you more attractive in the graduate labour market and make it easier for you to perform well in the workplace?


Use the DIEP model to guide your reflective writing, being careful not to spend too long describing but instead focusing on interpreting the situation, evaluating your feelings, and considering how this might affect you going forward. The expectation is that the ‘Evaluation and Planning’ aspects of the DIEP model will be prominent in your reflective submission. Resources on writing reflections can be found online. The guide provided by RMIT might be helpful - https://emedia.rmit.edu.au/learninglab/content/how-use-diep-0
