You will need to delve deep into this area. You will need to be familiar with accounting standards, Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), Guidance Notes and contemporary topics in Accounting and Reporting. This is in addition to you having to develop skills in the area of preparing and presenting financial statements of various business entities.

Not only that, these accounting standards are constantly being updated by new legislation. ICAI updates the CA intermediate syllabus to reflect these latest changes.

Considering this, LearnCab CA intermediate online course ensures that our CA intra study content for this paper remains relevant. This is done by revamping and updating the content as and when the CA Intermediate syllabus changes. All this is done at no cost to you! This way, you will not have to go hunting for and spending money on extra resources to keep current with the material.

Also, we understand that interpreting and gaining knowledge of accounting standards and the like is a challenging task.

Laws are needed to ensure that businesses are regulated so that the relationship of business with society is a functional one. Otherwise, widespread chaos and conflict may ensue. That is why ICAI has introduced this paper Corporate Laws & Other Laws at CA Intermediate level. As a CA Intermediate student, you need to understand the legal framework under which business transactions are carried out. That is why, by studying CA Intermediate Law paper, you will gain knowledge of legal provisions of selected laws and their application in various scenarios.

The difficulty that students face while studying this subject is that it involves a lot of theory. Also, it could be the first-time students have such a detailed exposure to reading law. Reading law and the language around it is not like reading other content. Every word and phrasing of the law is important and needs to be analyzed and interpreted in practical cases.

That is why the faculty who teach this subject provides a lot of examples. They go through a lot of case studies so that you see how the law is applied and interpreted. Care is also taken to use graphical representations and animation to explain concepts. This is because such animation and representations are memorable, and you will be able to absorb this information faster.

Another major difficulty that students face is that the laws keep getting updated by legislation. Once the laws are changed/updated, ICAI will then effect the relevant changes in the CA Intermediate syllabus. This is to ensure that, as a student, your knowledge of law is current. So, finding the latest study material may be difficult.

Students face difficulty in the paper due to the following reasons:

• Ignoring theory

Tax is the main source of revenue for the government. There are two types of taxes that you will need to know in the paper Taxation: Income-tax Law and Indirect Taxes.

Under Income-tax, you will have to understand laws and procedures under Income-tax Act, 1961. The topics covered include many areas such as the tax rates applicable (for individuals, companies other associations of persons), income earned by all three categories, planning tax, detecting tax avoidance and evasion, settlement of tax cases in case of non-compliance, etc.

The Indirect Tax Law part of the papers involves a study of the tax known as GST. With its introduction on 1st July 2017, it has become a game-changer in the landscape of Indirect Tax Law in India. Here Indirect Taxes such as Excise Tax, Service Tax, Central Sales Tax, and State-Level Tax, etc. all are subsumed under GST.

The main challenge faced by students studying these topics is the changing nature of the law. Provisions in the Income-tax Act are amended yearly with the passage of the Finance Act. GST is relatively new in India. So, specific provisions/legislations are being updated constantly to address unforeseen difficulties in implementation. As ICAI wants you to stay up to date with your knowledge, they change the ca intermediate syllabus as and when such legislation becomes effective.

As an auditor, you are tasked with various responsibilities under the law. You are expected to conduct statutory audits of companies. You should conduct these audits by following the auditing standards laid out. So, knowledge of the auditing procedure is very important.
