  6. Approach Business, Financial Modeling and Financial Planning all go hand in hand and we therefore always face a little bit a chicken and egg problem. I’ll try to tackle this by taking a three dimensional approach - working from the outside in.

  7. Methodology The course will follow the workshop approach. This means that lab sessions play a central role. The lab sessions will end with quizzes that need to be completed individually.

  8. Course Outline Lectures: 2 hours per week for a total of 22 lecture hours Lab Sessions:8 lab sessions of 2 hours each The lab sessions will focus on acquiring Excel skills and the working out of problems

  12. References All the lecture notes as well as other relevant materials can be found on my web site at:http://chaos.nus.edu.sg/teaching/GEK2507 The required text book is “The Web”. The web has a lot of excellent information but it also has a lot of garbage. It’s up to you to decide which is which . Why the web? It’s free and it forces you to think critically. A few excellent books are also mentioned on the course home page.

  13. Course Contents Lectures 1-3: The Basic Financial Statements Lectures 4-5: Budgets, Running a Company Lectures 6-7: Evaluating a Company’s Performance Lectures 8-10: Investing in the Company Lecture 11: Accumulating Assets The chapters are organized mainly from the investor’s point of view and could be organized entirely differently. This does not affect the basic content.
