Academic malpractice 

regards plagiarism and other forms of academic malpractice, such as collusion and fabrication, as serious academic offences. 

  1. When submitting your assignment to you have responsibility for ensuring that: a. It is entirely your own work, except where you have given fully documented references to the work of others . The material contained in your assignment has not previously been submitted for assessment in any formal course of study. If any part of the text generated by a chatbot is used in any way, in work submitted, it must be fully and correctly referenced. A key part of your learning experience with ICis the requirement that you present your own original work in assessments. Large amounts of text, taken from any source, even if correctly referenced, will attract penalties since this provides no evidence of original work on your part. All assignments are screened using Turnitin detection software that checks for passages found elsewhere on the Internet, in books, journals or in work previously submitted. It also checks if the work has been written by artificial intelligence (chatbots) . ICA has issued guidelines on academic malpractice to help clarify for you what will be considered as constituting such offences and to indicate the nature of the penalties that may be imposed where they occur.

 

All parts of the questions can be answered in relation to a jurisdiction with which you are familiar. (please use UK jurisdiction)

Question 2 

To: Lily Harwood From: David Robinson 

Subject: Engi-Gassco Ltd 

Hi Lily, 

I’ve just been speaking to Annette Stevens, the company secretary for Engi-Gassco Ltd, as part of my regular reviews, and there has been a change to the company structure that we need to look into. 

She has advised that the board recently agreed a change in the company structure that sees Grant Murray moving to become president of Engi-Gassco Ltd, overseeing several large projects to broaden the company’s risk profile and increase profits. The first major project will be to oversee the acquisition of Fin-Scard, a Finnish boiler manufacturer. This project will be a joint venture with Fin-Scard that will see Engi-Gassco Ltd diversifying into the commercial biomass energy sector. David Burakowski, the chief executive officer for Engi-Gassco Ltd, has stated that, ‘While there may be some global uncertainty within the oil and gas industry, seeking new projects will allow Engi-Gassco Ltd to broaden its horizons. 

’Fin-Scard is a family-run business, headed by Henrik Laakkonen, with recent funding provided from the Finnish government. Laakkonen was a special adviser for the Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment from 2017-2021, before buying the boiler-manufacturing plant from his father in 2021. 

There is also a new chief finance officer for Engi-Gassco Ltd, Barry Schneider, who has been an oil and gas finance specialist consultant for the last 20 years and has assisted with 

mergers and acquisitions and financial aspects for many companies, across a variety of jurisdictions, including Russia, Canada, Central and South America and Australia. Barry has worked with many industry sectors, but predominately the mining and oil and gas industries. He is married to Rita Schneider, Engi-Gassco Ltd’s head of HR, and is based in Aberdeen.
