4. When you finish each chapter, please print the reports specified in the book , compare the results of the your printed reports and the results of reports of the book and sign at the bottom of each printed report as an evidence of completing the comparison of two reports before starting the next chapter. If two results of the reports are different, you should mark the different results on your printed reports, analyse the difference and write down the possible reasons of the difference.

5. The assignment should include one title page and 9 chapter cover pages (chapter 2 to 10) in front of the printed reports of each chapter, and be tied tightly by binding or using plastic folders. Please do not forget to write your student number, name and course on the title page.

6. MYOB assignment is due by Week 10. Students submit both the paper-printed version and the USB stick to contain 9 MYOB assignment files (*.myox) at the start of the lecture in week 10. If student does not submit the USB to contain 9 MYOB (*myox)files, the printed version will not be accepted or 20% penalty of total available mark will apply to the assignment.

7. When students submit the paper-printed version to the lecturer, the lecturer will ask validation questions to the student to check whether the submitted MYOB assignment is the student own work or not.

8. In the past, we found that some students had copied other student's work, changed name and format, printed and submitted the printed version , or copied word outputs, changed name and converted to PDF file. We remind you again that If we find the students who submits other students' work with changed name and format , we will take action against the students.

MYOB Work Activity Report

You have to provide an individual work report on how you have worked to produce your MYOB assignment. Major part of your individual report is to practice "Audit Around the Computer Approach" and to prepare report. "Audit Around the Computer approach" is more often known as black box audit approach as shown below:

In your MYOB assignment, you enter input data in to the MYOB software based on the source documents (input) of the book, print the outputs (the reports) generated by MYOB software and then compare the printed outputs with the outputs of the book. If two results of the two reports are different, you should reconcile the different results

Periodic information such as starting, ending and printing dates of each chapter entries must be inserted into the correct section in chronological order, including causes and solutions of the problems. Particularly when you finish each chapter, please print the reports specified in the book and compare the results of the your printed reports and the results of reports of the book . If two results of the two reports are different, you should reconcile the different results on your printed reports and write down the possible reasons in your report.
The final report should use an appropriate business report format and should include a detailed description on (Times new Roman 12 point):

a. progress based on time spent on each chapter;

b. any issues or problems that have occurred or been managed in each chapter, including details of what the issues or problems (if there are difference between two results of the report produced by you and the report of the book, analyse the difference and write down the possible reasons of the differenc), how have been dealt with them and what have been done to fix the issue or the problems (how to reconcile the difference).

c. your achievement in your MYOB assignment

d. what work is planned for the next 3 months in getting MYOB related accounting job.

JOB Claim Statement

The following document are required and attached :

1. Printed job advertisement you applied for;

2. Job claim statement (Job Claim Statement is different from Job Application Cover Letter.)

3. Resume

4. Confirmation email from your applied JOB advertiser

Find the job advertisement related to MYOB from websites like seek australia, careerone australia or gumtree australia. The advertisement will provide an overview of the position, information on how to apply and a closing date for applications. You may contact the employer and get the position description to contain a more in depth description of the position and to include details of the selection criteria required to successfully undertake the position.

After analyzing the job advertisement, prepare the job claim statements of no more than three pages outlining your motivation and suitability for the role, addressing the selection criteria individually. Addressing the selection criteria provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your key strengths by providing examples from past experiences to show how you meet the requirements of the position.

Make sure you individually address each criterion, carefully reading each one and breaking it down into parts ensuring you address each aspect thoroughly. The most important aspect of addressing selection criteria is to provide evidence through relevant examples. Support your claims with actual, specific examples of what you have done and how well you did it. One way to do this is to use the STAR model:

1. Situation: Outline a specific circumstance where you developed the particular experience or used the required skills or qualities. Set the context of the situation.

2. Task: What was your role? What did you have to do?

3. Action: What did you do and how did you do it?

4. Result: What did you achieve? What were the results of what you did?

Tips

1. use clear language with specific and relevant examples from your current or past employment (paid or unpaid), study, extra-curricular activities or other experience.

2. quantify your experience or skills if you can, e.g. ‘three years experience in creating monthly budgets using Microsoft Excel.'

3. if an example applies to a number of selection criteria, include it under each separate criterion.

4. remember you are limited to a maximum of 500 words for each selection criterion

Individual Presentation

Presentation marks will be based on individual student performance at the presentation of your MYOB assignment based on the MYOB Work Activity in weeks 11 and 12 tutorials.
