    hello, I have just submitted my OBU today. But later on my friend told me that my references are wrong.
    1. is it okay to use short form and no bracket on the year?
    something like this
    Riley, J, 2012. Accounting Ratios – ROCE. Tutor2u. [online]. Available at: < https://www.tutor2u.net/business/accounts/ratio_roce.html&gt; [Accessed 10/02/2013]

    2. Report: Gold prices to hit record high this year. The Star. [online]. Available at: < https://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2013/1/17/business/20130117095426&sec=business&gt; [Accessed 10/02/2013]
    I fgt to insert year for two links.

    3. what should I do? should I email to acca brookes? and ask them to let me resubmit my work? sigh. Any suggestions? Thank you

    Hi,

    1. The year should be in brackets.
    2. All referencing sample examples are clearly stated in the Submission Guide. I used that to make my references.
    3. Unfortunately, there may be nothing much you can do at this stage as you have already. However, there is no harm in trying to re-submit. If that does not work, then just pray that the marker is lenient about referencing.

    Good luck.
