Unit/s Assessed FNSACC405 Maintain inventory records
Assessment Name FNSACC405 Assignment
Type of Assessment
This summative assessment will enable your assessor to make a judgement of competency based on the submission of your completed assessments against the requirements of the unit/s of competency in this module.
Benchmark
The Assessment Benchmark developed for each unit of competency is the evidence criteria used to judge the quality of performance (i.e. the assessment decision-making rules). Assessors use these benchmarks to make judgements on whether competency has been achieved and to determine if you have performed to the standard expected to meet the unit requirements.
Reasonable Adjustment
Where appropriate Monarch Institute will allow flexibility in the way in which each unit is assessed based on the needs of an individual.
Assessment Coding
Assessment of this course is based on competency-based principles.
S = Satisfactory
NS = Not Satisfactory
If you fail to perform satisfactorily for the assessment in the prescribed way you may be assessed as ‘Not Satisfactory’. You are required to be assessed as ‘Satisfactory’ in all assessments for each unit of competency.
Re-assessment
Your assessment can be submitted after you have reviewed the learning materials and practiced enough to feel confident in your resubmission. You have two weeks from your last submission feedback to resubmit. You are re-assessed in only the areas where your assessor has indicated you were initially assessed as NS. It is at the assessor’s discretion to re-assess the entire assessment should an overall understanding not be demonstrated. When you are re-assessed as ‘satisfactory’ after re-submission you will achieve competency for this assessment.
Declaration of Understanding and Authenticity
I acknowledge the assessment process has been explained and agree that I am ready to undertake assessment. I am aware of where to find the assessor’s feedback for the assessment. I am aware of the appeals process, should the need arise. I also understand I must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ in all parts of the assessment/s to gain an overall competent result for the unit/s of competency. If I am found to be NS after a second attempt, it is at the assessor ‘s discretion whether I may be permitted one final attempt. I am aware that a ‘not competent’ final outcome means I may incur fees for re-enrolment in the unit/s.

This is a video assessment activity.
This task is designed to assess your ability to:
• Student greets Jane Simpson appropriately and professionally
• Student asks Jane Simpson questions about the accuracy of the stocktake
• Student must tell Jane they will address the discrepancy
• Student has spoken professionally and courteously with all parties

Scenario
Roles:
This role play has two roles:
o You: bookkeeper
o Jane Simpson: the warehouse manager
Scenario:
You are the bookkeeper for Kitchens R US and you have just received the details of the annual stocktake conducted by the warehouse manager Jane Simpson. Your stock card records indicate that there should be 22 cooktops, 15 ovens and 11 refrigerators. The stocktake reveals that there were 21 cooktops, 14 ovens and 11 refrigerators in the warehouse.
You need to ring or meet with Jane to confirm the stocktake is accurate.
Required Task:
You will need to find a friend to role play Jane Simpson.
You will need to video record the role play and upload the file to the LMS.
Conduct a brief telephone call with Jane Simpson.
You will be assessed on the following:
• You must ask at least two questions of Jane to clarify and confirm the information about the stocktake is correct.
• You must tell Jane how you will address the discrepancy between the stock listed on the stock cards and the stock that is actually in the warehouse.
Note: Your video recording should only be a couple of minutes in length.
Please name your roleplay file with your surname followed by mod 1.2. For example, Smith Mod1.2
General instructions:
Students must perform with at least 1 other person. Using just 1 other person to play multiple roles is completely OK. Alternatively, you can use as many other persons as there are roles.
The other person(s) can play multiple roles except for the role required to be played by the student.
There is no requirement for the other person(s) to be visible in the video, so if your partner(s) would prefer not to be visible, that’s OK.
The student must be visible throughout the video.
All persons must be audible throughout the recording.
Using a camera phone is often a quick and easy way to record the video.
For the role play, we suggest the following:
• Have a quiet, private space where you can effectively record the video. This could be your spare room at home, an office at your workplace, or even a study room at your local library.
• Be appropriately dressed.
When you’re conducting the role play, don’t forget about:
• Using appropriate body language and gestures, including eye contact
• Speaking professionally, and at the appropriate pace
• Using plain English
• Listening without interrupting
• Respond appropriately to what is said.
