CFA - n/a2 - 03-03-2004

Does any one knows that from where could i get the study material for CFA at relatively cheap price.And in Pakistan can we get tutions of CFA i came to know that CAPS is offering it.

Make an appointment to follow up with your advisor at a later date. That turns the advice into goals, and the follow through into a contract.

CAMS in Karachi has started a batch for CFA which a CFA qualified himself is teaching... There are no other proper tuition providers for CFA in Karachi... Don't know about other cities.

The CAMS (karachi) faculty will guide you for the list of books you need... The last I heard, CAMS themselves made the books available on specific outlets for the ease of students... So all CFA books should be available... I'm sorry but I don't know the name of the shop... If you're really interested, let me know and I'll find out.

I would be more than delighted if u can find me where the books are available.

I've learned-
that you can get by on charm for about
fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better know something.

Thanks but the efforts are in vain. As if you are in Pakistan and want to Attempt CFA exams then you have to move to middle east as again in 2004 Pakistan has not been made an examination centre for CFA exams. The closest city is dubai. THATS THE PROBLEM WITH THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.

I dont think all that was meant for me but I think I should have a say on this... Seeing that you're from India, you're trying to spark racism here... If I'm not mistaken there are more indians in Dubai than Pakistanis, and yet some lost person here is trying to indirectly point out lack of opportunities and facilities in Pakistan...

And if you can read english properly, see again with open eyes or ask someone else to do that for you if you're incapable, Karachi and Lahore are both LISTED IN THE EXAMINATION CENTRES for JUNE 2004 but not in DECEMBER 2004, because only LEVEL I examination centres have been finalised.

You won't find a person more pro-pakistani than me if you start this racism thing here... And believe me, I won't even care if I'm kicked out as being a moderator, its better that we talk about Accountancy etc related things rather than Third World Countries by a person who comes from a country that has the second highest percentage of people with AIDS... What a shame !!

Umm.... sumaaan and friends.

Lets not start this Ind-Pak thing over here. And besides, our legend killer friend has mentioned somewhere on this board that he is a he(not she) and is actually from Lahore and most of all, is 100% bonafide Pakistani! <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Chartered Financial Analyst

The CFA Program is postgraduate. The readings assigned in the study program and the questions on
the CFA examinations are geared for individuals who are prepared to deal with âmastersâ-level
coursework. Although many candidates enter the program with a business school education, others
may have a liberal arts background. No prerequisite courses of study are specified for entering the
CFA Program, but candidates should be aware that the assigned readings in many topic areas are
beyond a basic, introductory level.
The Level I Financial Statement Analysis material is directed at an intermediate/advanced level of
understanding. Before entering the CFA Program, candidates should be familiar with financial
accounting methods and financial statements. Candidates without a strong accounting background
or who need to refresh their accounting knowledge should review an intermediate financial
accounting textbook or enroll in a local university financial accounting course.
The Level I Economic Analysis material is also directed at an intermediate level of understanding.
Before entering the program, candidates already should be familiar with the principles of
macroeconomics, microeconomics, and the monetary system. If candidates do not have this
educational background or they wish to refresh their understanding of this material, a review of an
introductory level textbook or enrollment in a local university economics survey course is
appropriate.
The Level I curriculum in general assumes a basic understanding of financial markets and
instruments. Before entering the program, candidates should be familiar with the basic
characteristics of equity and fixed income markets and securities. Candidates without that
familiarity should review an introductory level textbook that addresses financial markets and
instruments.
Give me your e-mail, i will mail you a Self-Assessment Test MCQ, to test your entry skills
