26 January 2013Hi all,
I took CA Examination this Nov 2012.... I studied from Rajesh Makkar and did not take any coachings
I failed due to SFM in Group 1.
My concepts were not clear and I was getting really confused during the examination.
Please guys all those who did self study and cleared, please suggest me good book which contains the concept clarity and good for self study.
Please share your views so that I can decide which book to study from this time around.....

Hi man,
SFM is a paper requires lot of conceptual clarity.
Ill divide the paper into 3 sects
1)5 Chapters in SFM run in to Present Values-Capital Budegt,Equity Valn,leasing,Bond Valn,A part of Meger and acquisition,dividend policy a part.- source check khan academy videos on concepts..the more u establish the present value concept,the better u r comfortable.
2)Forex & derivatives- i don knw where u stay,wheresoever u r..arange this Fellows notes Rajiv Singh.(Read it if u r not comfotable let me knw).
u need think practically.
3)Portfolio mgt-u can refer any book.JB gupta is one i recommend.
with this u should be through ,even if u follow first two topics properly.
Good luck

I will appear in May - 2013 for my CA Final First Attemp.
I also self prepare all subject.
I prefer Student Guide on SFM of Snowwhite.. its give concept wise practical sums. so you get depth of knowledge of any concept.
If i dont give too much depth than i revised concept from A. N. Sridhar.
Last I used practice manual for revision.
As far as Module is concern. its waste of time bcz any student in first time can't learn from Module.
I used Material of Navkar for Practice Purpose.
As far as Forex and Derivatives is concern you should have to go through every material which you get from anywhere bcz that chapter are too tricky.
Still I m Happy with my Finance Preparation..
used Solved Paper of ICAI for revision its give you some idea for exam..
Plz suggest me any Book for Law..

Still there is confusion which book to study from exclusively..
Personally I dont like referring too many books for One subject..
Please recommend one book which not only make concepts clear but also impart question solving ability...
Is there any one book solution for SFM complete self study?????
hi spendisumtym,i had used sd bala for concepts and jb gupta sir's book ................first and foremost plz try to b well versed wid stock market and understand the concepts of derivatives and FOREX,capital budgeting shud not b given much of tym....valuation of bond,derivatives,forex all this shud b conceptually very clear.
merger and acquisition is same as in accounts so just do derivatives,leasing,merger and acquisition alongwid accounts.................dividend,portfolio etc r a must.
