Dear Friends,

I am studying the book of S.D.Bala & Pattabhiram(Snow white publications) for SFM and also use one book of Rajesh Makkar to solve the problems.(easily available in Book shops)

I find problems in chapters like Mergers and Acquisitions , Dividend Policy, Capital Budgeting like i have completed whole illustrations and problems in snowwhite book but some questions of Rajesh Makkar books are not there which i may feel important for exams. I feel that this book of S.D.Bala & Pattabhiram is not sufficient for covering all syllabus and in Rajesh Makkar handbook only questions along with some short theory points is given.

Can anybody guide me perfect book covering all topics. As i don't go for any coaching i also don't want to take any chance. Also guide me any good compiler for SFM. (covering last 10-20 years papers )

Please guide

Regards

Have you tried the institute's MAFA compiler? I feel Rajesh Makkar notes with compiler is sufficient.

Whch book are you refering for Financial reporting?

S.D.Bala & Pattabhiram is good for concepts. For practise, go for A.N.Sridhar's "Problem & Solution" text book, it covers all past exam Q/A and also some Advanced problems imported from CIMA, CFA, etc.

But make sure you once just go thru the Institute Module to know the coverage.
