AYN487 Professional Practice in Action

This capstone unit consolidates your learning from earlier units and prepares you for professional practice as an Accountant. Using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach, where you collaboratively solve open-ended, real-world problems, you will engage with complex, unstructured accounting scenarios that reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of the profession. Working in teams, you will research issues, gather and analyse information, and develop evidence-based solutions. The unit also develops your digital capabilities, including the use of accounting software. As a mastery-level unit in your degree, it draws together prior knowledge and skills to support your transition into your career, where critical thinking, technical competence, and professionalism are essential.
