Financial Reporting - Dont follow books, if possible -- Only refer class notes of any good teacher, arrange class notes from your friend (atleast for Holding, Amalgamation and Valuation). Better arrange Praveen Sharma Class Notes (For miscellaneous topics and AS You may refer M P Vijay Kumar/Padhuka) .

SFM - J B Gupta book with DVD Lactures. .

Audit - Padhuka for important and practical topics (For other portion you may refer surbhi bansal) .

Law - Munish Bhandari Handbook (Plus Padhuka for detailed study, if you have sufficient time).

AMA - Padhuka plus Study Material and Practice Manual (It is better prepare your own notes for theory portion).

ISCA - Manish Valechha ISCA Book plus and Practice Manual (The best book ever released for this subject, The book is a short version of study material, covers all, topics.. also includes examples, diagrams, memory codes....) refer Study Material if you have sufficient time but not actually reuired. Use with practice manual only, .

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)

If you need detailed book for costing then go for p c tulsian (Cost and OR separate books are available) ... There is change in isca (study mat was amended in jan 2012).. So it is better wait for the new edition of manish valechha isca. I m also waiting for the same.

Hi Friend,

Though everyone has a choice whether to take classes or do self study, I believe self study is best method to score marks in any subject if the best books are available. So following are my suggestions regarding best books for CA final :

Financial Reporting - Self study textbook by CA ( Dr.) P.C. Tulsian as per revised schedule VI

Advanced Management Accounting - Self study textbook by CA ( Dr.) P.C. Tulsian

Operational Research (OR) - Self study textbook by CA ( Dr.) P.C. Tulsian

DT - Vinod Gupta Modules

IDT – Dippak Gupta Modules

Law – Munish Bhandari

ISCA – Study Material of ICAI

Audit – Surbhi Bansal / TIPS notes + Institute compiler

SFM - Not aware of any tailor made book for CA-final which is comprehensive to cover all questions. Whichever book you refer, just ensure to practice some additional questions from the last Revision test Papers (RTP’s) issued by ICAI before every attempt. For May -13, you should practice additional questions from May 2012, Nov2012 and May 2013 RTP’s

Thanks
