If there's conflict between icai's study material and icai's practice manual.... what should the student follow ?

For example: in July 2014 Edition of Advanced Accounting
For Chapter 6 "Financial Statements of Banking Companies":

In Study Material - In topic "Risk Adjusted Assets" at page no 6.32
Risk weight of "Other Investments" is given 100%

but

In Practice Manual - In Question No 24 at page no.6.23
Risk Weight of "Other Investments" is taken 102.5%

What is needed to be followed?

If there's a conflict between icai's study material and icai's practice manual, just search on the internet for the correct answer.Make sure the rate/provision is the rate before the 6 months of the exam. ( Like for May 2015, the law as per 31st October 2014)

 

In this case, Practice Manual was right.

Yes Hammad is right always pursure the right answer than sticking to the books at such times.

And also the 5 to 6 month law should be applied. for may exam oct etc
