ASSIGNMENT QUESTION:

Robert Kaplan and David Norton introduced the balanced scorecard in the early 1990s, taking a
variety of performance measurements into account. According to the authors, traditional performance
evaluation focuses mostly on financial measures, which fosters short-termism and does not consider
the firms' long-term goals and strategies for attaining those goals. A balanced scorecard is said to
offer management information that aids in formulating and implementing strategic policies. It
emphasises the need to provide the user with a collection of information that objectively and fairly
addresses all relevant performance areas.

Required:

You are required to choose a company listed on the Bursa Malaysia for the assignment. As a newly
appointed management accountant, you are required to write a report to the Board of Directors on the
following items:

(a) An introduction of the chosen company includes a description of its background, its mission
and visions, and the core business activities. (10 marks)

Note: Each group within the same tutorial grouping MUST choose different company.

(b) Discuss the FOUR (4) perspectives of a balanced scorecard. (12 marks)

(c) Discuss TWO (2) benefits of implementing the balanced scorecard by linking to the chosen
company. (6 marks)

(d) Explain THREE (3) potential limitations of implementing the balanced scorecard by linking
to the chosen company. (12 marks)

(e) Design a balanced scorecard sheet for the chosen company that includes a subheading for the
followings for each of the four perspectives:
 Objectives;
 Measures;
 Targets.

You need to explain in detail how the balanced scorecard created could be used to measure
the company's performance. (30 marks)
[Total: 70 marks]
