Choose one of the major banks in Australia, discuss their current Balanced Scorecard and provide comprehensive analysis on:

Strategic Management Accounting
Introduction
Strategic Performance Measurement Systems (SPMSs) have long been recognized as a crucial element for improving business performance.
Maxims such as “What Gets Measured Gets Done” reflect the view that implementing appropriate SPMSs ensures that actions are aligned to strategies and objectives.
The heavy focus on traditional accounting measures within the financial services industry has been identified as the possible cause of many problems within the industry, from the cause of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 to other recent failures within the financial services sector.
Poorly designed performance measurement systems that focus solely on short-term financial performance result in managers emphasising shortterm financial performance metrics, in the interest of current profitability, to the detriment of endeavours that can result in long-term benefits, including new product development, process improvement, human resource development, information technology, and customer and market development. Attempting to resolve the problem by supplementing standard financial practices with additional indicators that can help a firm
evaluate its long-term performance, Kaplan and Norton introduce the balanced scorecard to integrate these factors into the business performance assessment of a company.
Research Activity
The Purpose
To undertake a search of the relevant literature to determine what are the major issues related to the
implementation of Strategic Performance Measurement Systems (SPMSs), such as the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), in the Financial Services Sector.
Task Outline
Choose one of the major banks in Australia, discuss their current Balanced Scorecard and provide comprehensive analysis on:
• • the benefits of BSC in reaching strategic objectives of that bank
• • the issues related to implementation of the BSC in that bank
• • common barriers to successful scorecard implementation in the Financial Services sector in general.

Imagine you are a member of a newly developed diversity team in your workplace Reflection

 Imagine you are a member of a newly developed diversity team in your workplace. Your team is considering how individual identity contributes to cultural diversity. Your team leader has asked each member to take time to reflect on the personal identity and the aspects of cultural diversity you represent and how understanding your own traits affect your perspective of cultural diversity.
