Assessment Instructions
The assignment (both the word document and the video file) will need to be submitted electronically through the student portal – use the link under “Assessments”.
Referencing
Any sources that you use need to be acknowledged to avoid plagiarism. Information on referencing can be found in the Guidelines for Referencing and Presentation at the Kaplan website using the following address:
(https://elearning.kbs.edu.au/mod/page/view.php?id=128881).
In-Text Referencing and the Reference List
Sources of information must be cited both in the body of the text (in-text referencing) and the end of the assignment (reference list). Failure to do so will result in penalties. Remember that when referencing an Annual Report, it is a corporate document that does not have a particular author but it will still require referencing any time you use information from it. Any other documents or books or other references you use will also require referencing.

Any work which has been copied or shared between students will result in a Fail grade for all students concerned. Therefore, please make sure that the answer to this assignment is your work and not copied or bought from any source.
