Assessment and permitted materials
There are two different types of examinations:
* Part on financial accounting: After each session on financial reporting (May 11th, 18th and 25th), students have to answer a few questions on the contents covered so far. These questions are uploaded via Moodle and to be handed in again via Moodle again within a few days as announced (“take-home exams”).
In total, 60% of the final grade can be achieved through these take-home exams.
* Part on non-financial accounting: After the class on June 5th, 2020, students are required to work out a paper (approx. 8 pages) summarizing the main aspects of non-financial accounting requirements and analysing one non-financial report by an Austrian company (for students coming from other countries, other companies might be analysed as well). The deadline for handing in this paper is June 30th, midnight (Viennese time).
