CA

Hi.

For the CA exam (Foundation / Intermediate / Final) in Bihar, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) *does include Madhepura as one of the possible exam cities in some sessions — but this doesn't always mean there is a centre exactly in Madhepura town every time. 

Bihar CA Exam Centres — General List

ICAI announces exam centres based on applications and logistics, and for Bihar in earlier sessions, the list of examination cities has included:
Madhepura along with other districts like Aurangabad, Banka, Begusarai, Gaya, Purnea, Madhubani, etc.

However, for specific exams (e.g., May/June 2025, Nov 2025, Jan 2026, etc.), the official centre list can vary. For example, the most recent ICAI official list published for the May‑June 2024 exam did not include Madhepura as a separate centre — instead showing main cities like:

• Begusarai

• Bhagalpur

• Darbhanga

• Gaya

• Madhubani

• Motihari

• Muzaffarpur

• Patna

• Purnea

• Samastipur

• Sitamarhi

• Siwan

Hi.

Absolutely! Audit is one of the trickiest subjects in CA, but with the right strategy, you can secure a decent rank. Let me break it down step by step — with clarity and structure.

 Understand the syllabus deeply

The first step is knowing what ICAI expects:

Key areas in Audit (CA Intermediate / Final):

Standards on Auditing (SA) – The core of the subject.

Audit of different entities – Companies, banks, co-operatives, LLPs, etc.

Audit procedures & techniques – Planning, internal control, vouching, verification.

Company Law provisions related to audit

Audit Reports – Format, contents, qualifications.

Other audits – Government audit, internal audit, cost audit (Final level).

Tip: Divide syllabus into “weightage categories” – focus more on frequently tested SAs and audit reports.

 Master the Standards on Auditing (SA)

Each SA has objective, procedure, and reporting requirements.

Memorize key points for each SA (like SA 200 – Overall Objectives of the Auditor, SA 240 – Fraud, etc.).

Use flowcharts / mnemonics for procedural steps (this makes recall faster in exams).

 Focus on Practical Questions

Audit is practical-heavy, not just theory.

Work on question banks and past ICAI papers.

Solve case studies where you have to:

Identify audit risks

Suggest procedures

Prepare report / qualification

Tip: Practicing vouching, verification, and reporting questions repeatedly is more effective than reading theory multiple times.

 Learn Company Law + Audit Report formats

Many mistakes happen in report writing.

Keep a template for different audit reports ready. Practice writing at least once in each topic.

Remember dates, limits, and thresholds in Companies Act (for statutory audit, appointment, resignation, etc.).

 Time Management for Revision

Allocate 2/3 of your time to high-weightage SAs + practical questions.

Revise audit report formats and checklists just before exams.

Use short notes and tables to quickly recall procedures.

 Solve Past Exams Strategically

Solve last 10 years of ICAI papers. Focus on:

Marks distribution

Frequently asked SAs

Report writing questions

After solving, check answer keys / suggested answers to see how ICAI expects framing of reports.

 Conceptual Clarity > Rote Memorization

Many fail Audit because they memorize without understanding.

Ask yourself for every step:

“Why am I doing this? ”

“What is the objective of this procedure? ”

This ensures you can tackle new or tricky questions in exams.

Recommended Resources

ICAI Study Material (First preference)

Practice Manual (solving questions is key)

RTPs and MTPs (Revision Test Papers / Mock Test Papers)

Hi.

It depends a bit what you mean by “with CA”  because Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)'s CA qualification is not a traditional “degree course” offered by a college/university, but a professional certification course which candidates register for independently.

What “CA” means — and why no college “offers CA” as a degree

CA is governed by ICAI, not by universities. To become a CA, you register with ICAI (through Foundation route after Class 12, or via Direct‑Entry if eligible). 

That means no college or university can confer a CA “degree.” CA qualification is separate from university degrees. This is also why many CA aspirants do a B.Com (or related degree) alongside CA the degree is from a university, CA qualification from ICAI.
