Which Reference Books are good? (Since this post is not exhaustive, we will keep on updating this post from time to time) in case of any questions or suggestions to be asked, kindly email on inspiringcastudents@gmail.com

CA Sudhir Rajpopat: People sometimes ask their friends for reference books and they use it blindly without even knowing the facts about authors or without knowing the book contents. Ideally one should do whatever he/she is comfortable with and not what your friends are comfortable with.

CA Rajesh Pabari: Choosing reference books should be based on opinions obtained from at least five to ten persons. Preliminary knowledge about the length of the book and your requirements out of it should be clarified first. The same should be evaluated with your time availability.

CA Charmy Sheth, 3^rd Rank, CA Final, November 2011: Don’t go for random study. There are limitless books in the market. Believe me 90% the books will say the same thing. When I go to a book store I check how I feel about the book – format, font, readable quality. Shuffling books – is sheer wastage of time and energy. So, settle down with one book. Suggested reading:

·         ICAI Study Modules/Practice Manuals

·         Advanced Auditing and Professional Ethics: VK Agarwal

·         Corporate and Allied Laws: Munish Bhandari

CA Mridu Garg 2^nd Rank Holder, CA Final, November 2013: CA Institute’s practice materials, RTPs and the mock tests with the CDs that they initiate, that had been a big help that takes place in the month of September. That was indeed a big help because you got to know where you stand.
