# A current report without copying it into the pack

The QCAA [2025 v1.4 Accounting syllabus](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/downloads/senior-qce/syllabuses/snr_accounting_25_syll.pdf), Topic 1, asks students to compare sole-trader and public-company accounts. The fictional [E panels](CASE-CARDS.md#e--two-deliberately-small-position-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](https://www.asic.gov.au/for-business-and-companies/companies/company-financial-reports) 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](https://www.woolworthsgroup.com.au/au/en/investors/our-performance/reports.html) 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.
