I dont know abt the book but his language given in the class notes is very simple .

for basic study of the topic u can refer J B Gupta.. but refer one book for exams.

No it doesn't skip any topics....

If you've enough patience to read it, you'll find everything..

Moreover, it's ICAI's refernce material..
