Financial Reporting - Dont follow books, if possible - Only refer class notes of any good teacher, arrange class notes from your friend. Better arrange Praveen Sharma Class Notes.

AS - Sanjeev Singhal (BEST) / D S Rawat

SFM - J B Gupta book with DVD Lactures (BEST) . .

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

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

AMA / Costing - Padhuka (or PC Tulsian (BEST) if you need detailed book) plus Study Material and Practice Manual (It is better prepare your own notes for theory portion).

ISCA - Manish Valechha ISCA Book (Memory Based Edition) (BEST) plus Practice Manual (The best book ever released for this subject, The book is quite self-explainatory.. it explaines all topics with 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). or T G Suresh (BEST) very concise book for exam it can be completed easily.

Indirect Taxes - Rrafi for Concepts (BEST) (Padhuka or Banger for detailed Study and past exam questions)

Based on my observations and suggestions and comments of various learned people on CCI I reached the conclusion that these are the best books for CA Final course (New)

FINANCIAL REPORTING - M.P.VIJAYAKUMAR

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - M.P.VIJAYA KUMAR/RAWAT/PADUKA

SFM - A.N. SRIDHAR

ADVANCED AUDITNG - PADUKA + SURBHI BANSAL'S NOTES

CORPORATE AND ALLIED LAWS - MUNISH BHANDARI

MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING - PADHUKA

ISCA - INSTITUTE STUDY MATERIAL

DIRECT TAXES - TN MANOHARAN/PADHUKA

INDIRECT TAXES- INSTITUTE LATEST STUDY MATERIAL/YOGENDRA BANGAR/AJAY JAIN

Further I noticed that every one suggested to read the modules too for all subjects.

Here are the books that I am referring:

Financial reporting : MP Vijaykumar

SFM : AN Sridhar

Auditing : Padhuka

Laws: Munish Bhandari Handbook

AMA : Padhuka

ISCA: Padhuka

DT : VK Singhania

IDT : Bangar, but I will replace it with taxmann's VS Datey

Apart from above, dont forget to go through Practice MAnual+RTP.

The books for Paper 1-6 is recommended by most of the members, but for paper 7-8, I have hardly seen anyone recommending taxmann's book. I am a big fan of taxmann's books and it gives me the best level of understanding.

As you had written both groups, you must have also referred to a few books and should change your options accordingly..It would be better if you can compare the various books briefly at the shop before buying them.
