Hi Surendar,

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 :

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

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

IDT – Dippak Gupta Modules

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

DT - Vinod 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 3 Revision test Papers (RTP’s) issued by ICAI before every attempt.

Thanks

FOR SFM I suggest " Conceptual Approach to SFM " SFM by CA K.PAPNEJA. it is very conceptual , contains 100% theory and more than 800 Fuly solved questions . Each chapter is introduced conceptually and in my opinion is best book for self study.
