Ca final - nov13

Group 1 Books – Click here for Strategy to Clear CA Final Group 1

Financial Reporting – Best option is to join class for financial reporting (or arrange class notes of any good teacher near your location - (In my view go for Praveen Sharma Class Notes). (Reference book: P C Tulsian – It should be your second choice if you are unable to arrange any class notes) 

AS - Sanjeev Singhal (BEST) / D S Rawat

SFM - J B Gupta book with DVD Lactures (BEST) (Taxmann Publication).

Audit - Padhuka for important and practical topics (For other portion Surbhi Bansal).
SA – D S Rawat
 

Law - Munish Bhandari Handbook (BEST) - Plus Padhuka for detailed study, if you have sufficient time).

Group 2 Books – Click here for Strategy to Clear CA Final Group 2

AMA / Costing - Padhuka  (BEST) plus Study Material, Compiler and Practice Manual (It is better to prepare your own notes for theory portion).

ISCA - Manish M Valechha ISCA TextBook (BEST) (Memory Based Edition).... Best book to fetch high marks in ISCA. Very well written with awesome presentation … comprehensive yet easy to understand... It explains all topics with examples, diagrams, memory codes (refer Study Material if you have sufficient 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). Also check T G Suresh’s DT book it is very concise book (BEST for revision)  it can be completed easily.

Indirect Taxes – N S Govindan for Concepts (BEST) (Padhuka for past exam questions).

Thank you Rahul for useful suggestion. :)

Dear seema,

financial reporting-(DAILY 4 HRS MINIMUM 20 DAYS)

p0arveen sharma class notes( for conceptual understanding)---try to follow this sequence

value added statements---human resource accounting---valuation----mutual funds( both SFM and FR as sometimes ques of SFM RTP are asked in FR and vice versa)---- financial institutions-----financial instruments( only compound financial instrument is important)----share based payments---corporate restructuring---- amalgamation---- all AS ( do from class notes only as it is more than sufficient)------don't waste much time holding companies as paper is of 120 marks , you can do holding in the end( holding ques for 16 marks ).

if you want an exemption in it, try the following...

after understanding concept practice from RTP and Practice mannual.

SFM( DAILY 3 HRS MINIMUM2 WEEKS IF YOU ARE GOOD @ MATHEMATICS)

rajesh makkar class notes then rtp's / PM ( many ques will be repeated.... so select all types)

follow sequence of makkar sir only.

AUDIT

practice mannual only, keep a main book like surbhi bansal in hand for any problem or else you can see that topic from https://www.icai.org/post.html?post_id=5777

LAW

munish bhandari handbook --- in case of any problem , keep munish bhandari main book in hand

COSTING

PM ONLY

complete OR first ,then relevant cost then service cost , then developments in costing(1st chapter)

theory is very important comes around 20 to 42 marks so do all theory from all chapter from practice manual only .

this will fetch you around 60 marks if you are good @ maths.

time required( it depends on your intelligence)  it took me 2 months

ISCA

very easy for me as i am a BCA graduate ..... go with class notes of dinesh madaan..... then read PM(very important)

2 WEEKS maximum... very scoring subject... 

DT

PM very important(base book)---- concept from VG summary.... keep all VG sir's modules( vinod gupta) , incase of conceptual problem refer to them otherwise summary + pm are sufficient.

TIME required( again depends on your grasping power)  revision is very important

sequence-----

wealth tax---- pgbp----cap gains---assessment procedure-----all other small chapter from PM 

IDT

PM very important( base book)----service tax has changed 

book for reference vinod/ vandana bangur--- or vineet sodhani modules( in taxman)

# for second group take PM as base book as syllabus is very vast...... it will give you confidence 

Thank you so much Varun. Your suggesstion is really useful.Thanx a lot! :)

I want to ask one more thing - which group should i start first?

If Group 1, then i think i should complete it in 2 parts -> Part 1- FR + Law, Part 2 - SFM + Audit. 

If Group 2, then i think i should complete it in 3 parts -> Part 1 - AMA + ISCA, Part  2- DT, Part 3- IDT

Do you think above mentioned sequence is okay?

start with 1st group... its easy

your sequence for both groups is okay...

IN FR and SFM, valuation and mutual funds are to be covered together as i said earlier also , questions of rtp's are exchanged.... so before exam while revising FR also see ques of mutual funds and valuation from SFM rtp's. ( rtp's may 10 onwards ) click the link below for all rtp's

https://www.icai.org/post.html?post_id=4307

further if you face any problem in AMA , take CD of sanjay aggarwal sir, and understand the subject.

In OR , you can understand the concept from his classes, he takes around first 30 min of the class to clear off your concept  so 7 chapter's concept(OR 7 chapters) can be understood within 3.5 hours... rest is your practice from practice manual . same is the case with  relevant cost and developments in costing.

plz tell me, IFRS and INDAS are applicable for nov 2013 or the same accounting standards are applicable.reply fast

@ renu

institute will notify in july about IND AS ... it was not applicable in may 13,  you can visit following link for institute's notification on the same

https://www.icai.org/new_category.html?c_id=343

. for simplex ,pert/cpm refer his cd....

okay. thanks.
