Syllabus
In this unit, students extend their understanding of financial management, operations and decisions to an
international setting. Students will assess emerging technologies to generate forward-looking novel ideas and
solutions in international finance. The content of this unit includes the foundations of international financial
management; the foreign exchange market; exchange rate determination; currency derivatives; foreign exchange
exposure and management; world financial markets and institutions; and the financial management of the
multinational firm.
Introduction
The aim of this unit is to provide students with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of international finance with
focus on the application of it by firms and multinational corporations in an environment characterised by globalisation and an
integration of the world economy. More specifically, the unit content includes:
1. The international financial environment: globalisation and the multinational enterprise, foreign exchange markets,
quotations, arbitrage, and exchange rate determination.
2. Foreign exchange and interest rate risk management: how the multinational corporations measure and manage foreign
exchange and interest rate risks using derivative products and instruments.
3. International banking, international money market, international capital budgeting and international trade finance.

All students in this unit have the opportunity to contact me for additional consultation. My consult times are listed in the
contacts tab on blackboard. I encourage all students to contact me during my scheduled hours.
Unit Learning Outcomes

All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These
inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills
and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the
Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process
referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know,
understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully
designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of
the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.
Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities
through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

The mid-semester test will be in the format of an eTest that all students have to complete
online. The eTest will cover chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the prescribed textbook. Please refer to
the example test paper as well as the example of multiple choice questions attached to the
mid-semester test information on Blackboard. The example test paper is also accessible in an
eTest format similar to the eTest that you have to conduct online. By doing the example eTest
before attempting the real eTest, will familiarise you with how real eTest questions will appear
and how you should answer such questions. The real eTest is contained in
the Assessments Section on Blackboard.
How will you be tested?
The details about the real eTest are the following:
l You are allowed to have your non-programmable calculator, pens/pencils and all unit
study material with you during the test since it is an open-book test.

September on the date for the test stipulated in the unit outline. It will be in the format
of a multiple choice and short answer eTest.
l You are only allowed one attempt to the test. Therefore, please do not access the test
until you are ready to complete it in a single session.
l Total time allowed for completion of the test: 90 minutes. Therefore, ensure that you
have sufficient time available and will not be disturbed when conducting the test.
l The first part will consist of multiple choice theoretical questions from Chapters, 1, 2, 3
and 5. The second part will contain cross rate and arbitrage calculations from Chapter 5
for which you will have to show your workings in the space provided in the eTest.
Calculation questions will be based on those in the textbook but they will not be
identical. You have to answer all questions.
l The formula sheet that contains the formulas applicable for calculations, will be
accessible in the eTest. When you conduct the test, you are provided with the link to the
formula sheet and can access it. It is the same as the "eTest Formula sheet. docx." that is
attached to the mid-semester test information on Blackboard. When you conduct the
example eTest you will also get access to the same formula sheet. Therefore please
conduct this example eTest to familiarise yourself with the way that you obtain access to
it whilst conducting the eTest.
l You can access the eTest for feedback after the test was completely marked. This will
allow you to see which questions you answered correctly and which questions not.

Assessment Moderation
Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning
outcomes, and that students work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation
of assessments are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from
policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/
Pre-marking moderation
During course review processes the assessment design and management of the task related to moderation practices are
considered. Planned tasks are reviewed against the unit learning outcomes and syllabus, and the fairness of the assessment
judged. When a new assessment is planned, outside of the course review process, the Unit Coordinator (UC) discusses the
assessment design and marking guide with the unit’s co-assessor and other teaching staff. The UC and the co-assessor discuss
and finalise the content of all assessments before release to students. Marking guides or rubrics are developed by the UC and
co-assessor to ensure consistent marking practices. The requirements of the assessment task are clearly communicated to
students.
Intra-marking / Post-marking moderation

Where there are multiple staff marking assessments, the UC will ensure consistency across markers during the marking
process. A random selection of assessment submissions are assessed independently by two or more markers and the graded
work compared. Where differences occur, strategies will be adopted to ensure consistency of marking.
Late assessment
Where the submission of a late assessment is permitted, late penalties will be consistently applied in this unit.
Where a late assessment is permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment
Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:
1. For assessment items submitted within the first 24 hours after the due date/time, students will be penalised
by a deduction of 5% of the total marks allocated for the assessment task;
2. For each additional 24 hour period commenced an additional penalty of 10% of the total marks allocated
for the assessment item will be deducted; and
3. Assessment items submitted more than 168 hours late (7 calendar days) will receive a mark of zero.
Where late assessment is NOT permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the
Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:
1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will receive a mark of zero.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating)

Academic Integrity
Curtin's Student Charter, Academic Integrity Program (AIP), and core Values guide expectations regarding student
behaviour and responsibilities. Information on these topics can be found on the Academic Integrity Website.
Academic Integrity Warnings
An Academic Integrity Warning may be issued to a student in limited circumstances and only where misconduct is
not involved.
Academic Misconduct
Staff members are required to report poor academic practice and suspected misconduct. Academic Misconduct
means conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work. This includes all
types of plagiarism, cheating, collusion, falsification or fabrication of content, and behaviours like falsifying
medical certificates for extension. Contract cheating, the use of file sharing, translation services/apps,
paraphrasing tools (text-spinners), article generators, and assignment help websites also may be considered
academic misconduct.
Check your assessment instructions carefully before using any generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) software
(e.g. Chat GPT, Midjourney, GitHub Copilot, etc.). You are not permitted to use Gen-AI software in any assessment
task unless written permission is explicitly granted by the Unit Coordinator (e.g. within Blackboard or the
assignment specifications). If the use of Gen-AI software has been approved, you must document its use, apply
appropriate acknowledgement and attribution rules, and include a statement as to the nature and extent of the
use when submitting the assessment. Unapproved, inappropriate, or undisclosed use may be dishonest or unfair
behaviour, and thus considered misconduct. For further information on the use of Gen-AI software see the
Academic Integrity Website.
The longer term personal, social, and financial consequences of misconduct can be severe, so please ask your
tutors or unit coordinator if you need clarification or are unsure what to do. If your work is the subject of an
inquiry, you will be given an opportunity to respond and appropriate support will be provided. Academic work
under inquiry will not be graded until the process has concluded. Penalties for misconduct may include a warning,
a reduced or nil grade, a requirement to repeat the assessment, an annulled grade (ANN) or termination from the
course. For more information refer to Statute No.10 Student Discipline and Academic Misconduct Rules.
