The lecturer for this module is Ms. Tay Shir Men. This module introduces students to the principles and practices of financial management for a business. It emphasizes the core concepts from the point of view of a business manager's goal to maximize the value of his or her firm. However, stress is made that managers have a responsibility to behave within ethical constraint when striving to maximize the firm’s value.
We are required to prepare a financial analysis report toward Mah Sing Group as our group assignment. In the report, we need to calculate and analyze various financial ratios. It is tough because some of the information is missing from the annual report.
Throughout the semester, I have understood the core principles and practices of financial management in maximizing the value of a firm, various methods of capital budgeting used to appraise capital investment proposals, and to forecast and manage the cash flows of a business. I believed that I am able to read a company's annual report in order to analyze their financial problem in future.
I have learned values such as discipline specific knowledge, life long learning, thinking and problem solving skills, intra and interpersonal skill and digital literacy during the group assignment. It is interesting to absorb financial knowledge even it is difficult to understand sometimes. However, Ms Tay has explained in detail to us when we did not understand. I would like to take this opportunity express my gratitude to my lecturer, Ms Tay for being a patient and kind lecturer.
