I am a CA Final student and I have decided to self study. But I am confused as to which books to use for preparation. I have mentioned below some of my choices and request you to help me choose the best considering the time constraint for preparation. Thanking you in advance.

 

1. Financial Reporting: M P Vijaykumar/Saravana Prasath/Any other book

Accounting Standards: D S Rawat/Dolphy D'souza/Any other book

2. Strategic FM: Patabhi Ram/Sridhar/Padhuka/Any other book

3. Auditing: Surbhi Bansal/Kamal Garg/Any other book

4. Laws: Munish Bhandari(Que & Answers/Handbook)/Jayaraman

5. Costing: Saravana Prasath/Any other

6. ISCA: Is Module enough?

7. DTL: TN Manoharan/VK Singhania/Any other book

8. IDTL: Bangar/Datey/Any other

 

Somebody has advised to follow ICAI modules only. Is it suitable for any subjects? Please reply.

FR - Dont follow books, if possible -- only refer class notes of any good teacher, arrange from your friend. Go for Praveen Sharma Class Notes (For miscellaneous topics and AS You may refer M P Vijay Kumar)
SFM _ J B Gupta DvD Lactures plus book 
Audit - Padhuka (For Less important and Typical theory portion you can refer Surbhi Bansal
Law - Munish Bhandari Handbook Plus Padhuka for Detailed Study

AMA - Padhuka plus Study Material and Practice Manual
ISCA - Manish Valechha plus and Practice Manual (The book covers full syllabus also includes examples, diagrams, memory codes....No need to refer study material use with practice manual only, module is time consuming and difficult to revise & produce in examination)
Direct Taxes- T.N.Manoharan Plus Summary Module of Vinod Gupta (Prepare notes for lengthy and typical portion, if possible)
Indirect Taxes - N S Govindan for Concepts (Padhuka or Banger for detailed Study and past exam Questions)

thanks Rahul., where shall i get Praveen Sharma notes and Manish Valechha's book?

Praveen Sharma Accounts Notes - You ll've to arrange it from your friends (refer class notes not book)

Manish Valechha ISCA Book - From the Market... Or   Visit Here

thank you, Rahul. If anybody has got soft copy of Praveen Sir's notes, please send me..

Dear Manu, I am also a ca final student doing self study. I dont think referring notes is a gud idea. When u do self study, u have to grasp everything urself. If u use notes, I dont think that will be possible. 

 

Pls check this link. /forum/final-books-151214.asp There I had given my choices of books with brief explanations. But for IDT my choice is now different from what I had suggested in that link. At that time, I preferred Vaitheeswaran but later I realised that the book didnt cover full portion. Now I prefer Bangar which is comprehensive & best from the viewpoint of exams.

 

Also, pls use module for ISCA. I know it is time consuming. But that is the best way to pass in this paper.

 

One more thing..Pls dont rely on books by Saravanaprasath(paduka). If u really are going to do self study, then books of paduka arent going to help u. Of course u can use them for problem solving purpose. But it is of no use for understanding concepts(from my experience).

accounts praveen sharma

DT vinod gupta

IDT paduka

Audit surbhi bansal

Law manish bhandari

SFM sanjay sharaf

Cost sanjay agarwal

MISC icai module

accounts: where shall i get the book? you know the publisher? does it cover AS also?

audit: is surbhi bansal's book is enough? i want to follow only one book each subject.

law: bhandari! q&A or handbook?

sfm: which publisher, u know?

costing: sanjay agarwal: again the publisher name

pls reply saurabh, here or pm me

 

thanks in advance

 

for sfm should i prefer jb gupta lectures or sanjay saraf?
