INTRODUCTION
We welcome you as a student to the Department of Financial Governance and trust that you will find the
academic year constructive and that you will be successful.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of communicating
with you about teaching, learning and assessment. You must read all the tutorial letters you receive
during the year immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and, sometimes, urgent
information.
Tutorial letter 101 together with CASALL1 Tutorial letter 301 contains important information about the
scheme of work, resources and tests for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at
hand when working through the study material, preparing for the tests and the examination and addressing
questions to your lecturers.
We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!

ASSESSMENT
6.1 Assessment plan
It is very important to read the instructions and recommendations contained in this tutorial letter, as well as
in tutorial letter CASALL1 301/2015. This implies that you should work hard and long hours right from the
very beginning of the year. Study the subject matter, which will be given for each assignment, thoroughly,
and follow the assignment instructions as set out in this tutorial letter.
6.2 Tests
6.2.1 Objectives
You must remember that you are now busy with a postgraduate course which comprises vast volumes of
work. It is therefore not possible to start studying only a month or two before the final examination, and
expect to pass. Four tests will be written during the year in order to give you the opportunity to have your
progress evaluated. Please refer to tutorial letter CASALL1 301/2015 for more information regarding the
tests.
It is important that you should be accustomed to working under pressure as the time aspect of the
examination paper poses a problem to many students. The tests are not the only method of gaining
experience in working under pressure. If you complete the assignments in accordance with the suggested
procedures during the year, you will become accustomed to working against time. It is extremely important
that you become aware of the tempo at which you should work to be able to complete an examination
paper within the time allowed.
Please note that you are not allowed to write in pencil (tests and examination).
COMMENT
Consistent studying throughout the year will increase your chances of success in the final
examination.

Writing on flags is permitted for reference and cross-referencing purposes only, that is, writing may only
refer to the name or number of the relevant discipline standard, statement or section in the legislation.
Candidates may not have in their possession any loose papers (whether affixed to the permitted texts or
not). Only properly bound standard publishers’ editions will be permitted. Photocopies, printed copies of
electronic versions, loose sections or isolated pages of texts are prohibited.
Any contravention of these regulations will be considered to be misconduct and shall be dealt with
in terms of regulation 11 (which sets out the rules applying to misconduct).
6.2.4 Administration of the tests
Please note that you will be notified of the centre at which you will be able to write the tests and that it may
not necessarily be the same centre where you will write the final examination. Answer books will be
provided.
Your answer book will be posted to you after they have been marked. As soon as the marks are available
they will be put on Internet (https://myUnisa.ac.za/portal). Each question must be answered in a separate
book. Please write your student number and full postal address on the cover of each answer book.
You are requested not to phone the lecturers or secretaries for your test marks because they do not keep
record of the test marks.
6.2.5 Remark of tests
Should you be unhappy with your test marking, please follow the following steps:
•
•
•
•
Forward your original script to the following address:
The Subject Coordinator (Prof ZR Koppeschaar)
Department of Financial Governance
AJH van der Walt Building
PO Box 392
UNISA
0003
It is very important that you make a copy of your test script before you send the original script.
You must include an explanation of why you would like your test to be remarked, as well as an
indication of instances where you were not awarded marks according to the suggested solution (the
suggested solution will be available on myUnisa).
When you send your test for a remark, the test in total will be remarked and not only certain sections.
Should you receive a lower mark on the remark, your test mark will be adjusted accordingly.

Unethical conduct
We have noted in the past that students have submitted tests for remarks after they have written in
additional information as part of the solution after receiving the tests back. This is included in the
definition of cheating as per the Unisa Students’ Disciplinary Code in Chapter 3, as it relates to the
commission of any other fraudulent or dishonest practice whereby a student, whilst being
examined by the University, seeks to mislead or deceive the examiner or the examination officer.
Students found guilty of writing additional information in tests after receiving it back will be
facing disciplinary steps as it is unethical conduct.
6.3 Compulsory assignment 70
Submission of the compulsory assignment 70 by its due date, as well as obtaining at least a 30% year mark
for the best three tests during the year will give a student admission to the examination. The assignment is
attached as Annexure A of this tutorial letter.
Please ensure that your assignment 70 reaches the University before the due date of 4 May 2015. Late
submission of assignment 70 will result in you not being admitted to the examination.
Assignments should be addressed to:
The Registrar
PO Box 392
UNISA
0003
You may submit the compulsory assignment on the mark-reading sheet by mail, or electronically via
myUnisa. Assignments may not be submitted by fax or e-mail. For detailed information and
requirements as far as assignments are concerned, see the brochure myStudies@Unisa that you received
with your study material.
To submit the assignment via myUnisa:
•
Go to myUnisa.
•
Log in with your student number and password.
•
Select the course code from the orange bar.
•
Click on assignments in the left-hand menu.
•
Click on the assignment number you want to submit.
•
Follow the instructions on the screen.

EXAMINATIONS
Use your myStudies@Unisa brochure for general examination guidelines and examination preparation
guidelines.
Examination admission
Only students who comply with the following, will be allowed to sit for the examination:
•
•
•
Registered students who paid their study fees in full; and
submitted their compulsory assignment; and
have a minimum year mark of 30% for the best three tests during the year.
You may use a non-programmable pocket calculator in the tests and examination. However, you are
reminded that you must still show all your calculations. You may lose valuable marks if the examiner cannot
see what you calculated and how and why you calculated it.
COMMENT
The average mark of the three best tests of each paper (module) will constitute the student’s
year mark. You need 30% to obtain examination admissions.
If only one or two tests are written, the total marks of the tests written will be divided by three to
obtain the year mark. If no test is written the year mark will be nil.
The year mark contributes 20% and the examination 80% towards the final mark.

APPENDIX A: Assignment 70
Please ensure that assignment 70 reaches the University before 4 May 2015 – late submission of the
assignment will result in you not being admitted to the examination.

ASSIGNMENT 70 – QUESTIONS
FAC/ZFA/NFA4861
1.
The South African current tax expense of Z Ltd for the year ended 31 December 20.11 amounted to
R280 000. In addition to this, tax of R3 000 was due to the Botswana taxation authorities on
31 December 20.11, in respect of income earned in that country. Provisional tax payments of
R287 000 were paid over to the SARS during 20.11. The VAT control account reflected a debit
balance of R12 000 on 31 December 20.11.
The above information will be shown as follows in Z Ltd’s statement of financial position on
31 December 20.11:

Stardy Ltd acquired an asset with a useful life of 10 years on 1 January 20.9 for an amount of
R2 000 000. On 1 January 20.10, the asset was revalued with R900 000. At the end of 20.10 there
was an indication that it might be impaired and the recoverable amount was estimated to be
R1 000 000 at that stage. On 31 December 20.11 there was an indication that this impairment loss
might have reversed and the recoverable amount was estimated to be R2 600 000 at that stage. The
revaluation surplus is regarded as realised only on disposal of the asset. Depreciation is calculated
on the straight-line basis with no residual value. Tax should be ignored.

Fishnet Ltd has 50 employees, who are each entitled to 10 working days non vesting paid annual
leave for each completed year of service. Unused paid annual leave may be carried forward for one
calendar year.
At 31 December 20.12, the average unused entitlement is 4 days per employee. Based on past
experience, the entity expects that 41 employees will take 10 days paid annual leave in 20.13 and the
remaining 9 employees will each take an average of 14 days paid leave each also in 20.13. Assume
the daily pay rate per employee to be used in the calculation is R60, and that 10% of the
41 employees will resign during 20.13 before taking their leave.
Assuming that paid annual leave is first taken out of the previous year’s entitlement and then out of
the current year’s entitlement (FIFO method), calculate leave pay liability to be accrued for the year
end 31 December 20.12.

sold for R170 000 in an arm’s length transaction. If the asset is used for its remaining useful life of
three years, it will annually generate net cash inflows of R80 000 before tax and will have no residual
value. A fair discount rate is 10,8% after taking tax at 28% into account. Calculate the impairment
loss at year-end.
