Change of syllabus for ipcc frequent?

Hello guys,

So I am giving my first IPCC attempt in May 2013 (already cleared CPT)

Just wanted to know if I should buy the IPCC books such as Munish Bhandari, Singhania etc right now or does the syllabus change every half year? In other words, is there a significant difference in subsequent editions of these books?

Would really appreciate a prompt response from someone who has knowledge on this matter.

Arniv I cleared CPT 4 years ago before my graduation. It's only last week that I registered for IPCC though. So my attempt is definitely in May 2013.

okay sry bhai mai galat samjha

vaise accounts ke liye Praveen sir ke notes and law ke liye munish bhandhari ki book

and tax ke liye girish ahuja ki book sufficent hai

cheers

Taxation and Accounting standards may change, others will remain the same forever

if u dont feel bored my legal language then go for Module for law as without case study whole paper is theory so module is better its time consuming but its good

Sameer,

No, there will not be drastic changes. In any case, you can get the changes in Tax from the Supplementary Study Paper published by ICAI. At IPCC level, changes don't play that big a role, except for Tax.

However, in case you want to know, there will be four major changes in the country in the near future, changes directly related to us.

1) Direct Tax Code in place of the existing Income Tax Act, 1961.

2) Goods & Service Tax in place of the major components of Indirect Tax as they are today.

3) A new Companies Act in place of the old one.

4) New Accounting Standards in place of the old ones.

BUT, all these changes will take place over a period of time and in any case, they are not relevant for you. So, buy the books and start studying. All the best!!
