AOS 492- Financial Literacy for Leaders
Applied Financial Decision Project
PURPOSE: To integrate the learning from all the course units within the AOS492
course, this assignment is an opportunity to incorporate the important aspects learned in
the course, research, and other readings to be able to apply in real-life situations.
DESCRIPTION: This is a comprehensive demonstration of learning for the course that
includes a synthesis that incorporates theoretical learning from the course and your own
research along with an applied component from a financial literacy concept. In this
assignment, assume you are a leader of a major organization or in a position of making
personal life decision. You are confronted with a financial situation that needs a
thoughtful and careful decision. Fortunately, you just recently completed a financial
literacy course, how would you approach the issue?
The assignment outline should be as follows:
1. Introduction, introduce yourself and the brief overview of what you are going to
discuss in this paper
2. Identify the financial problem or issue you are facing. Describe in detail why this
issue requires a thoughtful analysis and careful decision making. You must be
prepared to share the implications of your decision.
3. Discuss the importance of financial literacy for leaders and why you think your
financial knowledge places you in a better position to address this issue
4. Identify at least one aspect in the course and/ or literature that you find useful, and
demonstrate your understanding of this aspect that is vital in financial decision
making
5. In conclusion, how would you in summary, based on your individual financial
decision-making experience, encourage and advise other leaders in matters of
financial literacy.
The completed work and the reference list should be submitted to the dropbox in the
assignments section of the course platform.
