Task:
This assessment task builds on your developing knowledge of accounti ng processes and your MYOB workshop acti viti es. Part A of Assessment Task 1 was your week 3 online quiz. Part B now consists of the following:
• Part B – recording and reporti ng financial informati on for a small Tasmanian company, NavigoTech Pty Ltd, using MYOB accounti ng soft ware (including MYOB Academy). The detailed informati on that follows forms the comprehensive data set for this assignment. This Part B Case Study must be completed individually.
Most importantly, this assignment will assess all three learning outcomes for this unit: that means you will need to:
1. Apply accounti ng and accountability concepts to accounti ng systems and reporti ng;
2. Criti que complex financial and non-financial reports for potenti al accounti ng issues;
3. Prepare financial statements using contemporary accounti ng theory and practi ce for management decision-making.
Specifically, the assessment task requires you to set up, record and report financial informati on for NavigoTech Pty Ltd using MYOB accounti ng soft ware, and then criti que the financial reports for any potenti al accounti ng issues. Use a separate one-page Word document with preliminary draft dot points of your criti que (categorised under relevant headings as a guide for AT2). You will need to further analyse this data and your preliminary findings from AT1b as part of a comprehensive report to management in your Assessment 2 presentati on.
As part of this assessment task, you will be required to complete the remaining four (4) topics in your MYOB Academy Learning Path – “Getti ng Started with MYOB Business”. It is strongly recommended that you complete these learning modules first, to build your skills in using the MYOB accounti ng soft ware and therefore support your successful completi on of the NavigoTech Pty Ltd Case Study.
Using your new knowledge and experti se in the MYOB soft ware, you will assess the enti ty's accounti ng processes, data accuracy, and identi fy any potenti al areas of improvement. This assessment task will test your ability to manage financial records, analyse data accurately and efficiently, and prepare preliminary informati on to communicate your findings effecti vely to others.
Individually, you are required to:
1. Complete “Getti ng Started with MYOB Business” in MYOB Academy;
2. Set up, record and report the financial informati on for NavigoTech using MYOB accounti ng soft ware;
3. Make a list of potenti al accounti ng issues in a separate document, and once completed,
4. Upload the required documents (see secti on 8) to the Individual Assessment Drop Box in MyLO.
Task 1
IMPORTANT NOTE: The first part of this assignment task is to learn about MYOB in the MYOB Academy Learning Path and most importantly practi ce your skills with the MYOB Workshop Practi ce Set - EcoServe. Your EcoServe Packaging profile is for practi ce purposes only. It is NOT assessed - however, completi on of the MYOB Academy Learning Path is ASSESSED.
The final assessment task data (available in the link below) will require you to START AGAIN with a new trial account in MYOB Business. Please do not att empt to overwrite the practi ce set account. It will cause endless problems.
