About the Subject with Coverage
The subject of Strategic Financial Management in Group I is considered one of the tougher paper to crack in the CA Final examination. It is indeed tough if learnt improperly. The subject is concept oriented and therefore has to be understood well to succeed. Learning only the concepts but not knowing the practical applications of the same is like having a musical instrument and not knowing how to play it.
Therefore, understanding practical applications of concepts would only give a purposeful learning satisfaction. The examinations also test the same. Thus, to do well, a student has to learn the subject properly, master the concepts and also know the process of applying the concepts. With more than three decades in the finance industry Prof. Sridhar has a knack of teaching almost every concept with a practical world example. This makes learning more meaningful, satisfactory, and complete.
