Rahul, have you read Abhishek Bansal' Audit and Isca of Sudeep Mangla?? Are they sufficient for self study? Is it easy to understand the subject from these books?

You may refer the following books for your exam preparation –

Group 1 Books –

Financial Reporting – Praveen Sharma Class Notes. (Reference book : M P Vijay or DG Sharma (DG Sharma Financial Reporting DVD Lectures are also available)

AS – Ravi Kanth Miriyala (Best) or D S Rawat

SFM - J B Gupta book with DVD Lactures (BEST) (Taxmann Publication) or S D Bala

Audit / SA – Pankaj Garg (BEST) with PM (Best and Sufficient for Exam) – Far better than surbhi bansal,

Law - Munish Bhandari Handbook.

Group 2 Books –

AMA / Costing – J B Gupta (BEST) plus Study Material, Compiler and Practice Manual (It is better to prepare your own notes for theory portion – Must cover theory given in Practice Manual) (Padhuka is also good for self-study)

ISCA – Manish Valechha (BEST) (Memory Based Edition)... It is the best-selling book for ISCA. … it is comprehensive and easy to learn... It explains all topics with examples, diagrams, memory codes (refer study material if you have surplus time but not actually required). And at last, go through Practice Manual for important questions.

Direct Taxes - T.N. Manoharan Plus Summary Module of Vinod Gupta (Prepare notes for lengthy and typical portion, if possible). You can also refer Vinod Gupta Full Modules Set If you are having sufficient time for preparation.

Indirect Taxes – N S Govindan for Concepts (BEST) (Vineet Sodhani or Bangar for Practice and Past Exam Questions).

1. rank is by exclusion., so always try to have an edge over others.
2. icai materials only...confine to it, their language and style.
3. see the interviews and other write ups by rank holders in sites and youtube. always foresee in mind the day of declaration of rank holders.
4. dont waste even 5 minutes should be your mantra. but plan as if you will work for 9 hours out of say 10 hours available for study.

except some refreshing and rejuvenating activities, keep away all the unrelated things.

securing rank is not easy... because it has very much high value... be prepared to pay the price in line with its value...

google what sport persons do be to number one and champions in their respective fields...that is equally applicable to you...

and above all... be realistic and have faith...

see you as a rank holder in January 2020.
