How to practice financial accounting

Dear All,

Wish you a very Happy Akshaya Tritiya.

I have enrolled for CMA inter under Syllabus 2012. I had Economics in Grad. I didnt have much of accounts in my MBA also. Now being a non-commmerce student I am facing real problem in coping with Financial Accounting (Paper 5) and Cost Accounting and Financial Management (Paper 8). The biggest problem I am facing is how to study these two papers. Shall I practise the sums from the Study Mat or from some books or  what else can be done to grab these two papers, specially Financial Accounting.

Kindly help. Waiting for your kind reply.

Thanks & Warm Regards,

Indrani Das
