CA FINAL Important Questions for Nov. 15 EXAMS

Before reading CA Final Tips, I will recommend you to get CA Final Study planner &
Tips . Here below I have gathered certain important chapters which are asked in every
attempts with good weightage. I have also given the name of Authors whom
reference books to be preferred for CA Final examination preparation. So check them
out.

1) Financial Reporting:

For the important chapters for Financial Reporting for CA Final May 2015 examination,
consider following in tips:
I divide this subject in 5 parts:
1) AS.
2) Miscellaneous chapters.
3) Consolidated a/c.
4) Amalgamation.
5) Valuation.
a. AS in general are asked around 20 to 40 marks so must not ignore that. They are
sometimes copied from modules and PM
b. You can refer any good reference book. Which I personally feel every CA should refer, as they are fundamental matters. WE CA s are recognized by AS. (I referred RAWAT SIR’s)
c. Refer past papers and find out patterns. If I point out many AS Like 15 16 20 22 30
31 32 are in category of FAQ (these are just e.g.)
d. Miscellaneous chapters are not at all misc in importance. They are asked of 16 to
24 marks and beauty is they are far easier and less complicated in nature. Must not
ignore them. E.g. Nov 11 paper.
e. As for last 3 parts I am sure all of us do so much practice that sometimes we can
even solve that entire sum without question in our sleep.

2) Strategic Financial Management:

I divide it in 3 parts (module chap no)
1) Theory( chap: all chapter module theory especially 1,8,10,11) .
2) Chap 3,4,6,7,9,13.
3) Chap 2,5,12.
i. Theory is always good scorer as being in practical paper.
ii. For the above practical chapters I’ll definitely say make concrete base of concepts
and you’ll crack the paper.
iii. AS I’ve seen the area which is most twisted in paper comes generally from chapter
2, 5,12,7. Brush up time value of money as it comes everywhere.

3) Audit:

I divide this subject
1) Professional Ethics.
2) Co. Audit.
3) SA.
4) Others.
a. For professional ethics I would only say mug up the clauses line by line. As it’s our
act the language must be same.
b. Paper presentation plays important part. Must underline all the clauses sections and
SAs and have a neat presentation.
c. Many case studies in areas of Co Audit and Professional Ethics are repeatedly
asked so do refer all the material of institute.
d. MUST DO SAs…cause as accounting standards SA are also most important part of
our study. Don’t forget to compress your material. (i.e. determine what to do at last
day so you can gain confidence of reading it all)

4) Law

I divide this subject
I) Company ACT.
II) Allied laws.
a. Personal advice: Munish Bhandari.
b. Don’t ignore 30 marks portion of allied laws. It’s of same importance too.
c. Cross out repeated asked cases in Bhandari so you’ll have less burden at last
moment.
d. Read the analysis given for each topic. You’ll come to know the weight of topic.
e. Must compress material for last day. Or you’ll be lost in what to do and what not to do.

5) Costing QT:

Must do conceptually .
I divide this subject
Costing:
1) Standard costing.
2) Budgeting and other material related topics( ABC,JIT).
3) Decision making chapters.
a. In costing all sum are of different type. (especially decision making sums)
b. Be ready to read long description with lot of accuracy.
c. Checking the solved part of question and underlining the figures will be of immense
help.
d. In Qt there’s trend of asking “ulta” question which are always easy but due to lack
of practice we get scare and not even attempt that some time. But if you are to solve
that at home you’ll find it too easy. So never freak out when such questions are there
in exam.
e. Theory is always of 33 to 40 marks having very less to read as compare to those
long questions.
f. Be ready for any kind of questions. Nov 11 final exam question is classic example
of conceptual question where transfer pricing and other many questions were of
concepts and not of numerical.

6) ISCA

For the important chapters for ISCA for CA final examination, consider the following
tips:
I divide this subject
1) Chapter 6,7,8,9.
2) Chapter 2,10.
3) Chapter 3.
4) chapter 1,4,5.
a. Must refer module only for reading this subject. Also write same language.
b. Have habit of reading ISCA theory in question answer format like that given in PM.
Cause most common problem that I’ve heard is “Yaar sub kuch pada tha but question
samaj me nai aya to answer kaise likhe.” So to answer best have a habit of reading
in such format.

7) DT

Important Chapters for Direct Tax CA Final November 2012 examination:-
1) Wealth tax.
2) Assessment of different assesses.
3) 5 heads of income.
4) NR taxation.
5) Assessment procedure.
6) Other chapters.
a. Must do wealth tax, with assessment theory and in depth. They might not ask full
sum instead in past 2 years they asked small questions.
b. The syllabus in 99% case never going to be completed if you are giving ISCA and
having only 1 holiday so must plan LMR on hour by hour basis. And even if you can’t
complete whole syllabus no need to freak out cause everybody is in same boat.
c. Do refer institute case laws as they are often asked same to same
d. Amendments are “must do” thing.

8) IDT

Personal advice: Bangar
a. Must do amendments.
b. Must do institute’s case laws(asked of 16 marks almost every time).
c. In case laws it’s not necessary to remember assessee name but if you want to you
can do this, read whole case and wherever assessee comes replace it with the name.
in this way you’ll remember it.
d. In practices do not forget to write notes.
e. Do refer practice manual. Cause many things are asked from that.
