Concurrent Practical Training along with academic education: Key to achieving the
desired level of Professional Competence
Under the Revised Scheme of Education and Training, at the Final Level, you are ex pected to
apply the professional knowledge acquired through academic education and the practical
exposure gained during articleship training in addressing issues and solving practical problems.
The integrated process of learning through academic education and practical training should
also help you inculcate the requisite technical competence, professional skills and professional
values, ethics and attitudes necessary for achieving the desired level of professional
competence.
The Government of India in consultation with the ICAI decided to converge and not to adopt
IFRS issued by the IASB. The decision of convergence rather than adoption was taken after the
detailed analysis of IFRS requirements and extensive discussion with various stakeholders.
Accordingly, while formulating IFRS-converged Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), efforts
have been made to keep these Standards, as far as possible, in line with the corresponding
IAS/IFRS and departures have been made where considered absolutely essential. These
changes have been made considering various factors, such as, various terminology related
changes have been made to make it consistent with the terminology used in law, e.g.,
‘statement of profit and loss’ in place of ‘statement of comprehensive income’ and ‘balance
sheet’ in place of ‘statement of financial position’. Certain changes have been made considering
the economic environment of the country, which is different as compared to the economic
environment presumed to be in existence by IFRS.
Thereafter, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) had notified IFRS-converged Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 vide
Notification dated February 16, 2015 and also the roadmap for the applicability of Ind AS for
certain class of companies from financial year 2016-17. With the financial year 2016-17, the era
of implementation of Ind AS in India had begun for the listed and unlisted companies as per the
MCA roadmap for implementation of Ind AS. The MCA has also laid down roadmap for
implementation of Ind AS for NBFCs. These developments are a significant step in achieving
international benchmarks of financial reporting.
Ind AS, at the Final level, involves understanding, application and analysing of the concepts and
testing of the same. The nitty-gritties of this new standard coupled with its inherent dynamism,
makes the learning, understanding and application of the standards in problem solving very
interesting and challenging.
Accounts being the core competence areas of chartered accountants, at Final level, the syllabus
of Financial Reporting covers Indian Accounting Standards alongwith Ethics and Technology
integrated with the profession and accounting. However, for understanding the coverage of
syllabus, it is important to read the Study Material as the content therein has been developed
keeping in mind the extent of coverage of various topics in commensuration with 100 marks
allotted to the paper. Certain Ind AS / portion of Ind AS are excluded from the study material,
keeping in view the relevancy of the content in the Indian scenario and also to avoid the volume
of the study material.

Efforts have been made to present the multifaceted Ind AS in a lucid manner. The Study
Material carries 17 chapters. Care has been taken to present the chapters in a logical sequence
to facilitate easy understanding by the students. Ind AS have been grouped under various
categories to make you understand the areas of relevancy and application of Ind AS. The
chapters have been numbered based on those categories and Ind AS falling in the same
category are included in that chapter. Therefore, certain chapters on Ind AS, contain several
units each unit dedicated to one Ind AS. However, for bare text of Indian Accounting standards,
students are advised to refer the notified Indian Accounting Standards uploaded on the website
at the link https://www.icai.org/post.html?post_id=15365
