Objectives of the Assignment This assignment develops your capabilities to analyse and conceptualise the Sustainable development goals (SDGs) issues and relate them to the contemporary business and reporting practices and is aligned with the Course Learning Outcomes of identifying, understanding and interpreting accounting and reporting concepts.

That is, better understanding of the implication of SDGs in business, Sustainability Accounting and Reporting.

Overview of the Sustainable development goals (SDGs) “The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. The 17 SDGs are integrated— that is, they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability. SDGs are designed to bring the world to several life-changing ‘zeros’, including zero poverty, hunger, AIDS and discrimination against women and girls. Everyone is needed to reach these ambitious targets. The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.” (United Nations Development Programme, 2020).

• The similarity percentage you receive (when you submit your report it is automatically reviewed under Turnitin) is a guide only. There is no standard acceptable level of similarity (Direct quotations are to be kept to a minimum). Students should avoid directly copying from sources including online sources, and must write using THEIR OWN WORDS with appropriate referencing. There are possibilities of receiving high similarities with no problem. So, all reports, particularly those with higher level of similarities, will be audited independently for the nature of the similarities. Reports containing high similarity that potentially breach the University’s plagiarism policy could be subject to penalties including receiving zero (in cases of copying from other sources or other students work) for the assessment.

• Your assignment must be submitted electronically (via the course canvas site, in the ‘Assessment 3 submission box) by Sunday 18 October 2020, 10 pm (Melbourne time). This deadline will be strictly enforced for this piece of assessment. Late submissions will not be considered, unless a formal extension of time through RMIT special consideration department has been granted.

• Please refer to the Academic Integrity presentation available on the course Canvas site.

o Do not include the wording of the assignment instructions in your submission; o A hard copy submission is not required.

 

Note 1: There is no right or wrong answer in writing this assessment task. The quality of writing, research, discussions and well-supported opinions for each section of assignment will be assessed.

Note 2: Please also insure you leave ample time to submit – it is recommended students submit well before the deadline, and no later than 7 pm Sunday 18 October 2020 (Melbourne time) (3 hours before deadline) to allow for unexpected delays / internet lags etc. Students are reminded that difficulties in submitting (such as due to internet issues) is specifically their own responsibility and not an acceptable reason for late submission, unless found to be a general RMIT outage.

Fire Safety

Fire and Life Safety Education Program Plan

The department has been approached by the school superintendent about starting a Fire and Life Safety Education Program for all grades, K-12. As the fire inspector, this project will fall under your responsibility. The superintendent has asked that you submit your program plan in writing so that it can be reviewed and discussed at the next school board meeting. If your plan is approved, the program will begin the next school year. However, there are budget constraints, and several members of the school board feel like there are more important areas and programs that need funding.

You are to create a plan for a Fire and Life Safety Education Program. Given the circumstances with some of the school board members, your plan should begin with a summary of a comprehensive overview of general fire safety for occupied buildings. You should also demonstrate rationale for the general fire safety provisions as methods of fire protection. Let them know how important this program is through the short-term and long-term benefits to students and to the community as a whole. Also, be sure to include the following:

  • goals for the program,
  • organization of grades (Will you group some grades?),
  • a broad outline of the topics to be taught,
  • broad details of any special events/activities, and
  • a plan to keep the program going, year after year. (Will certain grades be taught certain topics each year so that, as student progress, they learn new things?)

Your response must be at least two pages in length, in APA style. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations. The title and reference pages are not included in the page-count requirement.
