Wat are the most reliable book for cost and fm for pcc?

i m  a pcc student...appeared in june 2009 and cleared 1st group....n i m consulting Saxena-Vashishtha...i quite like this book...it has all scanner questions,theory,practise questions and objective ones also. 

avoid  standard costing marginal costing ...process cost n joint product n biproduct from this book......for the chapters which i have mentioned....follow institute materials n compilers....and lastly also the esclation clause in contract costing....its just an advice ......choice is always yours...all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

and for fm....avoid capital budgeting and cost of capital from s*xena vashist.......baaki its alrite....for conceptual build up...refer to prasanna chandra book...or ravi.m.kishore....for cost institute material n compilers are best...all the best.

for costing-saxena vashisth

n for fm-khan n jain

for complete conceptual clarity,refer dis 2..if u can read  d whole book..nthng like it...

i gree with Aditi for costing n for FM u may refer ravi kishor

i think u should prefer compilation for cost & Fm Theory

 thank u all for all ur valuable suggestions....

BHAGWAN LAL FOR BOTH..........

i would recommend Dr. P.C Tulsian's (S Chand)  book for Cost Accounting. It covers the subject in detail with lot of illustrations and previously asked questions. theory is a bit extensive but follows a 'to the point approach'.  for fm i prefer compilation and ravi m kishore's book. (taxmann)

COST-DR. P.C. TULSIAN OR T.S GREWAL

FM-DR. P.C.TULSIAN

my view for ravi.m.kishore

rk mehta.. if u r in delhi

For Costing & FM, you should refer Ravi M. Kishore and Padhuka, Both are very well.

If it is possible, you should use both of the books.

BEST OF LUCK !!!

I am refering to Saxena Vashisht and find it useful, you can try the authors publication..
