3.How to Self Study Strategic Financial Management?

SFM is a conceptual subject and done right it can help you score well.There are a few topics in SFM which are a bit tricky to understand if you are new to this and may require some guidance like derivatives, Money market operations, and like. But you'll get enough video lectures as well as reference books to help you through. Moreover, institute modules and podcasts are also good. And the best thing about self-studying is you are able to get the concepts in a much better way and practicing strengthens it further.

All you need to do is first you should prepare a time table for your preparation. I would suggest you set a weekly target and then again break them into daily targets for your studies. Keeping targets will help you to motivate yourself to study harder in order to reach your targets. Otherwise, you will have no idea where your path is heading towards and you'll end up messing it up. And also it is important that take your targets extremely seriously. Every day you need to go after your target topics for that particular day as if your whole depends on it. 

After completing the self-study, if the student still feels that he lacks confidence or he needs more clarity on topics, then he can opt for Revision Videos or Short Duration Courses by Faculties

Make chapter wise formula CA Final SFM Notes, extremely neat and systematic. Try writing the method yourself as you’ll learn as you write. So, keep away from getting the method booklet photocopied. (i) Cover any formula and the alternative methods as well. You never understand which method comes to use in which condition. (ii) Always connect the formulas with deep logic. That'll deepen your understanding of the subject and will power up your concepts.

The finest book for SFM according to me is the study content provided by the institute. I’d suggest never ignore the study content or the practice manual. (i) if though you need a reference, SD BALA is a very fine book. If you need more quires to practice, you might go for ASISH KARRA. (ii) Never seem at the solutions when you solve the quires, in its place forever try and solve them based on your concepts.
