2. Module Communications
The Module Tutor’s contact details are provided above. You must check your University of
Bolton email address and the Moodle area dedicated to this module regularly as many module
communications are channelled through these media.

Your Module Tutor will normally aim to respond to your email messages within 2 full working
days of receipt. However, responses will be longer in holiday periods.

3. Module Description
The aims of this module are: This module aims to enable you to appraise problems associated with
managing an organisation within the context of the modern business environment and to develop
an awareness of how management accounting techniques can aid management decision making,
planning and control. You will also develop your presentation and team working skills through the
delivery of a group presentation. The Game attributes for this module are Collaborative and
Confident.

CONTEMPORARY
All professionals, experts, and special guests from the field will assist students in becoming well-
prepared for their field because they will gain first-hand knowledge through practical examples,
which will help them to be more proficient in their field by pointing out various issues promptly
and developing those areas more. It is also up to date with the new edition of references and
adequate information.

COHERENCE
This module has been reinforced by the previous accounting/finance module covered in their year
1. The module components cover different aspects of management accounting and decision
making. The order of the topics on the module calendar has also been sequenced in an order that
reinforce one another and follows up on the previous topic covered.

COHORT
This module considers and recognizes prior learning. The cohort will have opportunity to
participate in various discussions related to management accounting and decision making
concepts and improve their previous knowledge. Students will be able to learn more advanced
aspects of financial decision making and performance management which will help build their
knowledge for higher studies. This module has some technical concepts and require students to

2
understand and apply their knowledge in practice. Therefore, some complex topics have been split
into sub-topics to ensure students are able to understand and grasp contents with a wide range of
formative tasks set for each topic while considering learners from various backgrounds.

CHOICE
For this module, there are two assessments where one is an oral assessment (group presentation)
and the other is a written exam. In the exam, no choice questions will be given. Whereas for the
group presentation students can select any company which is listed in the London stock exchange
for the financial analysis. Written exam will be carried out to test their understanding and give
them better chance at passing first time.

CONSOLIDATION
The overall program structure and modules are designed to enable students to prepare for the
external future challenges that they may face in the workplace through gaining sufficient
knowledge and experience in financial decision making and management accounting concepts.
They will learn about current issues that firm’s face and how effective financial decision making
can help to resolve the issues. The assessment is designed to reflect the module learning
outcomes. This module is not theoretical only but students will be given different case studies and
in class activities to apply their knowledge in real life. This learning will also help students value
the importance of financial concepts in their personal and professional life in the future.

CHALLENGE
Correct verbs have been used to assess the learning outcomes for this HE5 module to challenge
students’ existing and newly acquired skills and knowledge. The range of assessments are
designed to challenge the students to research into current issues that will build and expand on
their existing knowledge and to successfully transition into further professional qualification.

4. Learning and Teaching: Campus Plus

This module is delivered over 15 weeks using a Campus Plus blended learning approach which
involves campus-based sessions, supported by scheduled online learning.

Scheduled sessions will comprise lecture with workshop activities. If you are unable to attend a
scheduled session due to factors outside your control, you are expected to inform your tutor and
engage in any activities set before the next session. To support your learning, online sessions may
be recorded and made available on Moodle (for up to one year).

In weeks 6, 7, and 8 tutorials will take place which will provide you with the opportunity to
discuss your progress on the module and receive feedback on assessments. This may be face-to-
face or online as arranged.

To complete the module successfully you must allocate a substantial amount of independent study
time, which will involve undertaking directed study and assessment activities. Directed study
activities will include undertaking set activities and carrying out assessment activities.

5. Graduate Attributes

Graduate attributes are the personal qualities and skills which the University of Bolton community
values, and which a student is expected to develop during their time at the University. Graduate

3
attributes act as a point of reference for a student’s personal development and support the
articulation of employability and transferable skills.

In total there are 10 graduate attributes (GAME). This module seeks to support the development
of: Self-awareness, resilience, problem solving, effective communication, global citizenship
(includes sustainability), enterprise, adaptability, collaboration, confidence, life-long learning.

8. Assessment Feedback
Feedback on items of assessment can be formal (such as on a signed feedback form) or informal
(such as advice from a tutor in a tutorial). Feedback is therefore not just your grade or the
comments written on your feedback form, it is advice you get from your tutor and sometimes your
peers about how your work is progressing, how well you have done, what further actions you
might take.

We recognise the value of prompt feedback on work submitted. Other than in exceptional
circumstances (such as might be caused by staff illness), you can expect your work to be

4
marked and feedback provided not more than 15 working days from the deadline date.
However, please note that that such feedback will be provisional and unconfirmed until the
Assessment Board has met and may therefore be subject to change.

Please take time to read or listen to your assessment feedback. This can be very useful in
determining your strengths and key areas for development, and can therefore help you improve on
future grades.

12. Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of Written Assessments
1. Written assessments should be word-processed in Arial or Calibri Light font size 12. There
should be double-spacing and each page should be numbered.

2. There should be a title page identifying the programme name, module title, assessment title,
your student number, your marking tutor and the date of submission.

3. You should include a word-count at the end of the assessment (excluding references, figures,
tables and appendices).
Where a word limit is specified, the following penalty systems applies:
 Up to 10% over the specified word length = no penalty
 10 – 20% over the specified indicative word length = 5 marks subtracted (but if the
assessment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass
mark for the assessment).
 More than 20% over the indicative word length = if the assessment would normally gain a
pass mark or more, then the final mark will capped at the pass mark for the assessment.

4. All written work should be referenced using the standard University of Bolton referencing
style– see: https://libguides.bolton.ac.uk/resources/referencing/

5. Unless otherwise notified by your Module Tutor, electronic copies of assignments should be
saved as word documents and uploaded into Turnitin via the Moodle class area. If you
experience problems in uploading your work, then you must send an electronic copy of your
assessment to your Module Tutor via email BEFORE the due date/time.

6. Please note that when you submit your work to Moodle, it will automatically be checked for
matches against other electronic information. The individual percentage text matches may be
used as evidence in an academic misconduct investigation (see Section 13).

7. Late work will be subject to the penalties:

 Up to 7 calendar days late = 10 marks subtracted but if the assignment would normally gain a
pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assignment.
 More than 7 calendar days late = This will be counted as non-submission and no marks will
be recorded.

Late submission of assessments on refer and those which are graded Pass/Fail only, is not
permitted. Students may request an extension to the original published deadline date as
described below.

8. In the case of exceptional and unforeseen circumstances, an extension of up to 14 days

after the assessment deadline may be granted. This must be agreed by your Programme
Leader, following a discussion the Module Tutor. You should complete an Extension
Request Form available from your Tutor and attach documentary evidence of your
circumstances, prior to the published submission deadline.

Extensions over 14 calendar days should be requested using the Mitigating Circumstances
procedure, with the exception of extensions for individual projects and artefacts which, at the
discretion of the Programme Leader, may be longer than 14 days.

7
 Requests for extensions which take a submission date past the end of the module
(normally week 15) must be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedures.

Some students with registered disabilities will be eligible for revised submission deadlines.
Revised submission deadlines do not require the completion extension request paperwork.

Please note that the failure of data storage systems is not considered to be a valid reason for
an extension. It is therefore important that you keep multiple copies of your work on different
storage devices before submitting it.

13. Procedures for Other Assessments

Please check the assessment brief for all guidance on assessment methods/activities.

14. Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct may be defined as any attempt by a student to gain an unfair advantage in
any assessment. This includes plagiarism, collusion, commissioning (contract cheating) amongst
other offences. In order to avoid these types of academic misconduct, you should ensure that all
your work is your own and that sources are attributed using the correct referencing techniques.
You can also check originality through Turnitin.

Please note that penalties apply if academic misconduct is proven. See the following link for
