The study tackles about “The Impact of Attending Seminars to the Development of the Analytical Skill of the Financial Management Students”. The discussion started by introducing what is seminars and its main purpose. Seminars help a lot to spread and inform the people about new informations and ideas. It provides also opportunities to the attendees to meet and know formal persons in different industries. The importance of seminars could also enhance skills of the attendees specifically the analytical skill of a person. In a way that the person will be more motivated to think and plan for their future because they were motivated by the new ideas they learn from the speakers. This paper also discusses the impacts of the seminars and this was proven by the result of the surveys which the respondents rated. Ending this paper is the conclusion about the what could be the influence of the seminars and how can it will motivate people to attend seminars.
Seminars are bringing up a small group to discuss a particular subject requiring the attendee to actively participate. The importance of seminars to the analytical skill of financial management students are being shared and learned. From the study of John Whilttaker (n.d.) the financial analytical and negotiating skills of the students are being developed. Another study done by Jean-Marc Hackey(n.d.), information exchanges exist in the seminars. The speaker who shares and discuss with his/her experiences also learned from the opinion of the listeners or the attendees.
The skills of the financial management students are being developed including the study of Naran (2002), the logical reasoning of the attendee. In a way that the attendees like students learn to study, examine and have a fully understood of the text or the subject to come up with a good conclusion to their work. Another skill benefited by the seminars are the thinking skills of the attendees, the listeners became more critical in thinking and analyzing. In addition from Cortell (n.d.) the evaluation and weighing up of text, opinion, arguments and solutions of the attendee’s improve.
Those who will be attending the said seminar will also be benefited by developing this analytical leadership. By the study of Jeanne Harris and Elizabeth Craig (n.d.), their analytical leadership covers the unique qualities of a leader. Analytical leadership also takes steps to care, develop and retain the core skills of a person to fully develop into an analytical leadership skill.
Leadership at times can be a complex topic to delve into and may appear to be a simple and graspable concept for a certain few. Leadership skills are not simply acquired through position, seniority, pay scale, or the amount of titles an individual holds but is a characteristic acquired or is an innate trait for the fortunate few who possess it. Leadership can be misconstrued with management; a manager “manages” the daily operations of a company’s work while a leader envisions, influences, and empowers the individuals around them.

2a. The conceptual framework identifies the primary users of accounting information as investors, creditors, and those who advise them. It also assumes a “prudent” investor; that is, an investor who takes the time to become reasonably well informed with respect to accounting theory and practice. Discuss this concept with respect to the current economic environment. Are different groups of investors “prudent?”
In the Freire’s “the banking ‘banking’ concept education.” he interpreted that teacher deposit themselves contains reality to students, and take the concept as if reality although it is far away from our life. This kind of education model led students to adapt the world, but not judges the world personally. T The capability of banking education to minimize or annul the students’ creative power and to stimulate their credulity serves the interest of the oppressors, who care neither to have the world revealed nor to see it transformed (Freire, Pg.217). The process of teacher’s teaching just an information transition, this act make students away from real life and world. Hence, banking education makes people apart from praxis. Apart from the way to be a fully human being in the real

“Horace Mann firmly believed in the utility of education to improve society and humanity” (Groen, 2008). Horace Mann said "Education prevents being poor”. As true as this quote may be, there is also a strong relationship between our debt to income ratio from the amount of loans we accrue while educating ourselves and the income we earn to repay the debt. Taking steps to educate before the problem gets worse is very important. Financial Management programs should be just as important as the other curriculums that are a required for graduation. Every high school students should be taught financial education regardless of sex, gender, color or race. One of the greatest barriers to financial literacy is overcoming student’s fear of borrowing. They should be taught how to make responsible choices financially. Some students are afraid to get into too much debt; therefore they prefer not to pursue higher education. Others worry about credit cards without the proper knowledge on how it works. This program will help relieve those fears and teach the proper ways to utilize money respon...

In my view, people employ certain traits that differentiate us from our neighbor next door, and leadership is no different. The test produced by the University of Kent in the United Kingdom (University of Kent, n.d.) has developed a process that I feel accurately defines what sort of leader you are based on 50 simple questions. I was not surprised by the results and found them to be quite accurate and expected. In this essay, I will explore why I feel the test is an accurate way to determine your leadership style due to my personal experience with
Finance is a field that had always fascinated me right from my undergraduate college days. What make me interested in this particular field of study are the art of finance and the complexity of investment market which would allow me to employ my personal skills, such as analytical and communication skills, along with my personal characteristics such as dedication and compassion for what I do. As one of the most important sector in the world, I believe it would provide me with a broad range of career options.
Successful leaders exhibit a series of qualities and characteristics, which drive their success. Whether these qualities are innate, natural, learned or trained is the premise of this work. There is overwhelming research that may be provided to support various schools of thought regarding leadership development. This work will discuss my personal perspective regarding leadership development, examine leadership theory and characteristics in order to evaluate the origin of strong leadership and reflect on the importance of leadership in higher education administration.
This paper describes about my leadership strengths and areas for growth/future study. It also included how these qualities are used in my daily work routine, self-assessment results and a brief explanation on Individual style in leadership.

Never have I ever climbed a mountain peak. As a child, I imagined myself conducting expeditions in deep-frozen pathways, leading amateur explorers to the top of the world, and instructing rookies in surviving harsh blizzards. Even though slightly altered, my childhood dream has been achieved. I led a team of fellow classmates, in my Strategic Management course, to the success summit of a financial competition. Over the course of a semester, I and my teammates were supposed to create and manage a company of the IT industry, in a computer-simulated environment, along with other four rival teams. I dealt with strategy and financial matters of our virtual enterprise, while my colleagues were working on marketing and manufacturing. During the four months of the exercise, I have experienced finance from various aspects: capital budgeting, through selecting favorable investment for upcoming quarters; debt management, by assessing the necessary amount and efficiency of loans; profitability analysis and dividend policy, which had been used to compile the company’s general performance index. Working in a multinational team, which included an American, a Norwegian and a Moldovan, strengthen my negotiations skills, as well as flexibility and cooperation. But above all, this experience intensified my passion for finance. Of course, a pleasant bonus was the fact that, in the end, our company’s financial performance was six times the performance of second-best team.
The second lesson concentrates on the importance of financial literacy. There is one rule to follow so as to understand financial literacy – “Know the difference between an asset and a liability, and buy more assets.” In order to do this, you need to be able to understand and comprehend numbers instead of jus...
