Analysis of FR CA Final Old syllabus paper:
The paper has been lengthy and compared to the previous 2 attempts has been difficult. This time ICAI asked questions in which concepts related to 2 different questions were merged together
Weightage
1. Accounting Standards, Guidance notes and Financial Instruments: 64 marks
After a long time, ICAI asked questions on related party disclosures and Operating segments, which were relatively simple. Overall questions were not difficult and students could easily score there marks
2. Ind AS: 8 marks
Question was theory based and easy to answer on the basis of differences studied by students
3. Amalgamation: 16 marks
Question on cross-holding, though unexpected but question had no adjustments and easy to solve for those who had studied cross holding
4. Consolidation: 16 marks
Question on a different financial year ending date was asked, similar questions in ICAI module were even more difficult than asked in the exam, but there seem to be some typing error related to cash adjustments in the question
5. Valuation: 8 marks
Market valuation question was easy to solve but too lengthy and deserved more marks
6. Other chapters: 20 marks
Questions on VAS, Mutual fund, NBFC and CSR, directly from the book asked questions

Analysis of FR CA Final New syllabus paper:
This was the easiest paper asked till now, each and every question directly from the module, Ind AS is comparatively very vast and this attempt it was expected that some concept based questions will be asked, but ICAI has kept it simple maybe because the syllabus is very vast.
