Experience in the practical and technical skills essential to accounting with the MYOB software

Students are required to purchase and complete an online MYOB practice set that will count towards the overall assessment mark for this unit. The practice set has been designed to provide students with experience in the practical and technical skills essential to accounting with the MYOB software, through the completion of a one month accounting cycle for a fictional business. The practice set provides each student with a unique accounting scenario and therefore must be completed on an individual basis. Please note that it is a large activity, taking up to 20 study hours to complete over many days or weeks. Please ensure you leave yourself enough time to complete this activity before its submission deadline. Submission is to be completed online; however it is possible to print each page of the practice set to work on it offline. Once each page has been submitted, you will be provided with immediate feedback on your performance. The online practice set is available from within your Perdisco account. To access the practice set, please: 1. Create an account at www.perdisco.com.au/myobLogin 2. Once registered, click ‘Add product’ 3. Select your course from the available options 4. Click on ‘How do I pay?’ for the payment options available. Payment can be made by online credit card or PayPal. Payment instructions are provided after registration. When you login to your practice set, you will see a Student Companion and Helpful Hints document on your practice set home page. This document gives you information that will help you to successfully complete the practice set. Please be aware that to complete this practice set, you will also need access to MYOB software. After you have purchased the practice set, you will receive an immediate email that explains how to download and install the software (you do not need to purchase the MYOB software separately). Please note that MYOB has designed its software to run only on Windows operating systems. As you work through the practice set, you will also notice that you have links to the “MYOB Learning Centre”. This online resource provides you with support on using MYOB and you are strongly encouraged to refer to it as you complete your practice set. In the interest of student access and equity, virtual ‘library copies’ of the practice set are provided through an Electronic Special Reserve (ESR) service on the Perdisco website. Like library books, they are limited by available hours and the number of simultaneous users. To access ESR, please create your Perdisco account and add the practice set, then click the ESR login link. You can also read more information about ESR by clicking the ESR info link. A tip for using ESR is to avoid leaving your work until the last minute when demand for ESR copies of the practice set is likely to be high.
