Forensic Accounting Coursework

Forensic Accounting Coursework Topics;

As set out in the Module Guide, assessment for the Forensic Accounting Module is by way of one substantive piece of written coursework on an area of Forensic

Accounting identified by the student.  The suitability of the chosen topic is to be agreed with the Module Leader during the course of the semester.
You can either choose your own Forensic topic or you can choose from one of the topics listed below.  It is also acceptable to vary the topics below as these are also

provided to give you some indication of the areas you can choose.
Please remember that, whatever topic you choose, you must meet the criteria specified in the assessment criteria grid (set out on the next page) in order to achieve a

pass.  You will be expected to refer to real world situations and cases as part of your work.

Topic
External Auditors and Fraud Examiners: A critical evaluation of the differences in skills sets and task objectives
[Note: In addition to highlighting the skills and task objectives, make sure that the main part of the essay is a critical evaluation between the two roles]

“Turn It In” and plagiarism
See the separate documents and links on the Blackboard site concerning plagiarism, referencing, cheating, and TurnitinUK.  It is VERY IMPORTANT that you understand

what plagiarism is – I DO NOT want to see any of you in an Academic Conduct Panel as the implications of this are serious.
A hard copy of your coursework must be submitted to The Student Help and Information Point (“the SHIP”) by the date specified.  Additionally, a copy of the work needs

to be submitted via TurnitinUK through the BlackBoard site.
You are encouraged to check your originality score and review any sections that are highlighted by using the draft TurnitinUK site.  You can submit as many times as

you wish to this draft site but only once to the Final Turnitin site.  Appropriately referenced and quoted sources are acceptable and so you are unlikely to get a

score of 0%.  However, the fewer words that are yours (even if you have referenced correctly) the lower your mark is likely to be.
Module Assessment Requirements
To achieve a pass, you will need to meet the criteria specified in the assessment criteria grid on the next page.  There is a single mark for the module.

Up to 3 marks credited for each cogently explained relevant point, with overall award in line with the module assessment criteria grid.

In addition, by way of further explanation, your submission will be expected to demonstrate the following qualities in order to achieve a good mark:

1.     Answering the central focus of the assignment topic.
2.     A critical appreciation of relevant literature and its use to support argument, substantiate model(s) and other aspects of the assignment.
3.     A clear listing of references and/or bibliography.
4.     Ability to analyse relevant theoretical concepts in a critical manner, evaluation of material, indication of gaps in the literature.
5.     Logical flow of ideas and treatment; imaginative approaches; appropriate
selection of real world factors related to the model(s) or specific assignment topic.
6.     Ability to analyse material from a variety of appropriate relevant perspectives.
7.     Presentation, structure, appropriateness of methodology, breaking into section headings/subheadings, tidiness.
8.     A strong conclusion.

Re-assessment information
In respect of a referral, the re-assessment task is a re-drafted coursework essay.  The referral mark will be capped at 40%.
