Not much change is there except the chapter of company Audit. Companies Act 2013 is in force now which is applicable for Nov 14 attempt so you have to prepare the chapter of Company Audit as per new companies Act 2013.
However there is no change in CARO as far as new Companies Act 2013 is concerned.
