Benchmark The assessment benchmark developed for each unit of competency is the evidence criteria used to judge the quality of performance (i.e., the assessment decision-making rules). Assessors use these benchmarks to make judgements on whether competency has been achieved and to determine if you have performed to the standard expected to meet the unit requirements. Reasonable adjustment Where appropriate monarch institute will allow flexibility in the way in which each unit is assessed based on the needs of an individual. Assessment coding Assessment of this course is established on competency-based principles: S = Satisfactory NS = Not Satisfactory If you fail to perform satisfactorily for the assessment in the prescribed way you may be assessed as ‘not satisfactory. You are required to be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ in all assessments for each unit of competency. Re-assessment Your assessment can be submitted after you have reviewed the learning materials and practiced enough to feel confident in your resubmission. You have two weeks from your last submission feedback to resubmit. You are re-assessed in only the areas where your assessor has indicated you were initially assessed as ns. It is at the assessor’s discretion to re-assess the entire assessment should an overall understanding not be demonstrated. When you are re-assessed as ‘satisfactory’ after re-submission you will achieve competency for this assessment.

I am aware of where to find the assessor’s feedback for the assessment. I am aware of the appeals process, should the need arise. I also understand I must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ in all parts of the assessment/s to gain an overall competent result for the unit/s of competency. If I am found to be ns after a second attempt, it is at the assessor’s discretion whether I may be permitted one final attempt. I am aware that a ‘not competent’ final outcome means I may incur fees for re-enrolment in the unit/s. I certify that the attached material is my original work.

Page 4 of 85 ii. Taxation Law Financial information provided to taxation authorities or used to calculate taxation liabilities must comply with the relevant taxation law. Some key sources of Australian taxation law are: Income Tax Assessment Acts (1936 and 1997) Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act (1986) A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 iii. Australian Accounting and Auditing Standards The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) is responsible for developing, issuing and maintaining a single set of quality accounting standards (the Australian Accounting Standards) for preparation of general purpose financial statements. General purpose financial statements that comply with accounting standards should accurately and fairly present the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an organisation. The accounting standards ensure that the statements prepared are more comparable than they would otherwise be, because all reporting entities are following the same guidelines and definitions. Only reporting entities are required to prepare general purpose financial statements, however other entities may choose to adopt the Accounting Standards. For reporting entities, the Standards have the force of law through the Corporations Act 2001. iv. PAYG System The PAYG system places a responsibility on employers to withhold income tax instalments (PAYG Withholding Tax) from the gross earnings of their employees. The employer is required to send the PAYG Withholding Tax to the ATO, accompanied by the relevant Business or Instalment Activity Statement. Other obligations of employers are the issue of payment summaries at the end of the year, issue of pay advices with each pay, and record-keeping obligations. In addition, there are annual reporting obligations in relation to wages and salaries. v. Superannuation Guarantee (Admin) Act 1992 This Act requires the employer to pay a compulsory amount of superannuation for all employees meeting certain eligibility conditions. The rate is currently 11% of ordinary time earnings, then increase by 0.5 percentage points each year until it reaches 12%. This money must be paid into the superannuation fund of the employee’s choice. vi. Privacy Act 1988 The Privacy Act 1988 aims to protect information of a private or personal nature and prevent it being disclosed without the authority of the party to whom the information relates. Disclosure of information of a confidential nature should only occur with the permission of the client.

Page 5 of 85 1.4 Australian Accounting Standards outline many accounting principles and assumptions that a business adheres to in recording and reporting transactions within the accounting system. List and describe four of these accounting principles and assumptions. i. Historical cost principle : Most transactions are initially recorded at cost. However, after initial recognition, the accounting standards sometimes divert from this principle. For example, where an item of stock cannot be sold at or above cost price, it must be valued at its net realisable (net resale) value. ii. Matching principle The costs of earning income (expenses) should be recorded in the same period as the income they helped to earn. The result is the profit (or loss) for the period. iii. The going concern principle The business entity is assumed to operate in the foreseeable future. This means the entity will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The significance is in the valuation process. iv. Principle of consistency The Consistency Principle recognises that an accounting method, once adopted, should not be changed during an accounting period. Ideally methods should only be changed at the beginning of a new accounting period. Generally a method is not changed unless there is a good reason for doing so. 1.5 For reporting entities, Accounting Standards related to the processing of financial transactions have the force of law through the Corporations Act 2001. Identify the two key features of ‘General purpose financial statements’ that comply with Accounting Standards. i. accurately ii. fairly present the financial position
