Dear Seniors, I want to know whether Companies Act,2013 will be applicable for Nov'14 exam ?
Companies Act is for 70 marks in Law paper & its effect will also reflect in subject like Audit too.
So,from preparation point of view for theory subjects like Law & Audit,it is high time that ICAI need to give their decision regarding applicability of Companies Act,2013 for Nov'14 CA(Final) exams.

there is no clarity yet. it is possible that some portions (98 section already notified) may be included. you are correct it has a bearing on many subjects. But I dont see any clarification coming anytime soon.
you should prepare other subjects and non-companies act related portions of law and audit. leave the companies act part for the later stages of preparation.
