, PLEASE USE THIS DOCUMENT AS A GUIDE TO ANSWER YOUR ASSIGNMENT

C1 - Reflect on your CAS1501 journey. Using your own words, describe in one full sentence how
your journey on CAS1501 has influenced your perspective on being an ethical accountancy
professional.

CAS1501 has shown me that acting ethically is more than a personal belief—it is a professional
obligation that plays a vital role in ensuring the reliability of financial information and maintaining
public trust in accountants.

C2 - COPY the number and name of the ONE FULL STUDY UNIT (not a section of a Study
unit) that influenced your answer in C1 the MOST. Remember to add quotation marks.

"Study Unit 2: The Role and Responsibilities of Accountancy Professionals in Society"

C3 - Using your own words, motivate in a full sentence your choice in C2.

This study unit helped me understand the significant impact accounting professionals have on public
trust, and how upholding integrity, transparency, and professional scepticism plays a crucial role in
avoiding corporate misconduct.

C4 - From Study unit 2.2.2.1, select ONE skill that you consider key to YOUR success in
CAS1501.

Relational acumen.

C5 - Find the subsection in Study unit 2.2.2 containing a detailed discussion about the skill
selected in C4. Use the section identified to motivate your answer in C4. Your answer should be
in a full sentence and in your own words.

This section highlights that relational acumen is about establishing trust, recognising client needs,
and nurturing ethical connections. This insight has enabled me to engage more meaningfully with the
course material and appreciate the human aspect of the accounting profession.
