I would be grateful for any assistance/advice on completing the project based on the case study. I am struggling to understand exactly what is required. The case study asks for a project report covering 'The co-ordination of work activities within Castonbridge Hotels' accounting environment'. Do I choose one activity or evaluate all activities? Similarly 'Identification of opportunities to improve the effectiveness of Castonbridge Hotels accounting system - Do I identify and discuss one opportunity or look at them all?<BR><BR>Any feedback would be very greatly received.<BR><BR>Many thanks

    I was a little confused on this also. The way I read the case study I understood, along with the rest of the class, that you had to analyse the accounting function as a whole. However, we have been assured that you only need to focus on one area although if you check your pcs in the Student Record you will see that you need to be able to comment/illustrate how your chosen section integrates with the other accounting functions and external sources of information - regulating bodies, government bodies (Inland Revenue/Customs & Excise) as well as the usual customers, suppliers, etc. I think there are five clear sections you could choose from but most will rely on internal sources of information.<BR><BR>Good luck - it's hard to start but once you do it's not so bad. I was more interested in designing diagrams for illustration purposes in the appendices than anything else but at least it got me interested enough to make a start!
