Hi all

I am appearing for new syllabus may 11 final first group. I had previously appeared last nov in old syllabus. I was then following kamal garg. I now thought of changing to surbhi bansal. Is it a good decision? I found kamal garg pretty much the same as the institute matrl. Frankly a little dry and not very interesting. However, Ms. Bansal has given everything in a crisp and compact format. Would you consider it to be sufficient enough for Final examination or should I support it with another author too.. Pls help as the other posts relating to best book for auditing are all very varied and no one is able to come to any conclusion on a majority basis also abt which book is good enough... Pls helllllllllpppppp...

thanksss

I cleared in MAY 10, I WOULD STONGLY SUGGEST YOU THAT DONT REFER ANY BOOK...STICK TO COMPILER, GIVE IT 2-3 REVISIONS, U WILL CUM OUT WITH REALLY GUD MARKS IN AUDIT.....COZ AUDIT IS THE ONLY SUBJECT VER U GET REPITITIVE QUESTIONS OF LAST YEAR.....yes but do the compiler thoroughly...ALL THE BEST..

go for padukas coz it has questions from past exams ,RTP's and also from material apart from it's own.from exam point of view it's very good.

I think that for important chapters such as tose given below Padhuka is essential:

1. Professional Ethics

2. Company Audit

3. Audit Report & CARO,

For other topics Surbhi Bansal will suffice

For SA u may refer Vinod Agarwal's book or Surbhi Bansal (comparatively much shorter & precise )

And dont forget to go through the compliation or the practice manual.

Please refer to the files attached which may be helpful for ur preparation.

Dear Rupesh paduka is for detailed learning for the 1st time study & compiler is for revision purpose at the ime of exam b'coz in exam time u cant go through paduka.
