The QCAA 2025 v1.4 Accounting syllabus, Topic 1, asks students to compare sole-trader and public-company accounts. The fictional E panels are an accessible first pass. For one authentic report, a teacher may select a current Australian public company's annual report and log company name, ABN/ACN, report year, official publication URL, retrieval date, page/statement labels, units and whether figures are consolidated. ASIC explains what company financial reports generally include and notes some reports are searchable through its register. A company's own investor-relations publication can be a primary source, but its latest status and rights must be verified at use.
Give students a link or teacher-provided lawful access, not a copied external chart in the CC BY pack. Ask: “Where are receivables, inventory, liabilities and equity shown? Does the company use these exact labels? Which footnote or accounting policy limits a simple comparison with E?” If a report has no inventory, that absence is a finding, not a student error. Do not extract prices or recommend buying its shares. Check accessibility and provide an equivalent teacher-made table of only the minimum facts permitted under the chosen source's terms. Record any adaptation and cite the actual report. This slot contains no selected company figures, so it cannot be mistaken for a verified current valuation or a complete authentic-company lesson.
Verified candidate at this review: the Woolworths Group official Reports and Data page displayed a 2026 Annual Report under 2026 on 29 September 2026. That company-published report is an authentic starting point for a teacher to open and verify the current PDF, reporting period, consolidated scope, page labels and accessibility. The landing page's report listing was checked; this pack does not transcribe or independently validate its statement figures. If the report is unavailable or a newer report has appeared, use the source-selection procedure above and log the replacement.
