This course is a perfect complement to Capstone 2, as it will give students the opportunity to write more cases which will be professionally marked and debriefed in class so that students can refine their case writing skills and have an edge on the CFE. Students will also learn fundamental case writing techniques, essential for successful case writing.
In addition, students will learn a very structured approach for writing the Day 2 Case on the CFE.
Lastly, students will also learn techniques for getting sufficient depth in various competencies, including:
Numerical Methods - How to perform quantitative analysis quickly and effectively in order to reach at least the 'competent' level
Depth in Financial Accounting - Essential technique for financial accounting issues which ensures students will move from 'nominal' or 'reaching competent' to 'competent' once an issue is identified
Integrated Tax - Review technical corporate and personal tax and integrate the technical into cases
Integrated Audit - Learn audit techniques to apply in cases to move up the competency levels
The timing of the course has been built around Capstone 2. There are 2 versions of the course, a live online option and a video option.
Live Online Version - The live online version is offered outside of normal business hours (evenings/Sunday), so as not to conflict with work. Furthermore a portion of the course is offered through videos, which can be watched whenever one has free time.
Video Version - All live online sessions are recorded and students can watch the videos at any point in time.
Students can mix and match sessions, i.e. take some classes live online and some by video, if it suits their schedule.
