An Assessment Task for First Year Management Accounting

The use of a Practice set (case simulation) as an assessment task in management accounting is aimed at providing students with a practical experience in the application of a form of simulated real-world events. The pedagogical justification for the use of a case simulation is inherent in the concept referred to as "learn-by-doing" effectively this implies that students are more likely to gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge and skills involved by having to complete a specific task.
