Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper enables the students in identifying business opportunities and examine their feasibility, forecasting revenues and expenses for business ventures using the life cycle approach, cash budget and projecting financial statements, understand financial statements, and estimate external funds needed and sustainable growth rate.
Teaching notes, videos and other resources will be added, week by week, from the start of A semester.

IMPORTANT: FINAN204(TGA) is offered as a FLEXI paper, which means there are some flexible aspects of this paper that can be completed online. Attendance at the lecture and tutorial is desirable. It is your decision whether you attend on campus. I will note the relatively small class sizes on the Tauranga campus do provide an excellent opportunity to ask clarifying questions during lectures.
