CO2. Apply findings from accounting information and communicate to stakeholders.

Plagiarism and referencing:
Plagiarism is regarded as a serious issue within the university system with severe consequences for students who have been found to have plagiarised, often the minimum penalty being zero for the assignment. You should be aware that in previous offerings of this course a number of students were
referred to the Academic Integrity Officer. All students should ensure that they are familiar with the plagiarism policy and referencing requirements before commencing the assignment in this course.

Remember

• If information contained in the assignment is not your own words or ideas you must acknowledge the source within the text of the paper as well as in the reference list.
• If you use another person’s words (i.e. you quote) you must indicate that this is a direct quote (usually by quotation marks) and reference the source (including the page number) within the text of the paper. Including the source in the reference list or bibliography is not sufficient. Changing,deleting, adding only a few words, or rearranging the sentence/paragraph does not negate that fact that you are quoting.

If paraphrasing, you still need to include an in-text reference (which includes the page number). And take care that the paraphrasing is not ‘too close’ to the original; i.e. that it is in fact a quote.

• The fact that the source of the material is from an Internet site, and/or the specific author cannot be identified does not negate the need to acknowledge the source of the ideas or words, or to reference correctly.
