Inside Advanced Accounting

ICAI Study Material · May 2026 edition
  1. Introduction to Accounting StandardsWhat AS are, who sets them, and why the exam builds every subsequent chapter on this foundation.
  2. Framework for Preparation and Presentation of Financial StatementsThe concepts behind every AS — qualitative characteristics, recognition, measurement — examiner tests this as theory marks.
  3. Applicability of Accounting StandardsWhich AS applies to which company level — gets you direct marks in theory questions and sets up every practical chapter.
  4. Presentation & Disclosures Based Accounting StandardsAS 1, 4, 5, 18, 24 — the disclosure-heavy standards that show up as short notes and scenario theory.
  5. Assets Based Accounting StandardsAS 2, 10, 13, 26, 28 — inventory to intangibles; depreciation and impairment questions hit every attempt.
  6. Liabilities Based Accounting StandardsAS 15 and provisions under AS 29 — employee benefits and contingencies are reliable short-question fodder.
  7. Accounting Standards Based on Items Impacting Financial StatementAS 16, 22, 25 — borrowing costs, deferred tax, interim reporting; deferred tax is where most marks are dropped.
  8. Revenue Based Accounting StandardsAS 7 and AS 9 — construction contracts and revenue recognition with the percentage-completion traps everyone misses.
  9. Other Accounting StandardsAS 11, 12, 19, 20 — foreign exchange, grants, leases, EPS; leases and EPS numericals are consistently tested.
  10. Accounting Standards for Consolidated Financial StatementAS 21, 23, 27 — consolidation with minority interest and associate accounting; the full 16-mark consolidation question lives here.
  11. Financial Statements of CompaniesSchedule III formats applied to real data — the mandatory practice chapter if you want presentation marks in the exam.
  12. Buyback of SecuritiesShort chapter, reliable 8-mark question — journal entries for buyback from open market or shareholders tested every sitting.
  13. Amalgamation of CompaniesAS 14 in action — purchase vs pooling, vendor account, goodwill calculation; the chapter where most 16-mark questions come from.
  14. Internal ReconstructionCapital reduction and re-organisation — looks complex but follows a strict format once you see the journal-entry pattern.
  15. Accounting for Branches including Foreign BranchesDependent and foreign branches with exchange differences — a consistent 8–12 mark question that most students underprepare.
