This advanced financial accounting unit provides an in-depth examination of the corporate reporting and governance framework in Australia. In particular, it examines the role of institutions that influence the timing and content of financial reporting in Australia, as well as the financial reporting obligations imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The role of corporate governance is a particular focus of the unit, and the Australian Stock Exchange's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 2010 will be considered in detail. Finally, a number of important Australian/International accounting standards dealing with disclosure will be reviewed. -- Course Website
