Taxmann’s Cracker – Corporate Accounting & Auditing (CAA) (CMA-Inter) (New Syllabus) by Tarun Agarwal for Dec 2026 Exams – 7th Edition July 2026.

Corporate Accounting & Auditing – CRACKER is a dedicated, exam-focused question bank for Paper 10 of the CMA Intermediate (Group II) course, prepared strictly as per the ICMAI Syllabus 2022. Part of Taxmann’s flagship CRACKER series, its purpose is singular and practical: to help you master the paper by working through actual past examination questions, fully solved and arranged in the exact sequence of the official syllabus.

Unmatched Depth & Exam Intelligence

What sets this title apart is the sheer depth of its question bank and its data-driven approach to revision. Rather than just a handful of recent papers, the book curates and solves questions drawn from over a decade of CMA examinations.

• Session & Marks Tagging: Every single question is tagged with the session and marks in which it appeared.

• ‘Similar Question’ Flags: When the same or a substantially similar question has recurred, it is explicitly flagged (e.g., ‘June 2019, 7 Marks; Similar Question in Dec. 2022, 8 Marks’). This is a powerful signal of what examiners return to again and again.

• Marks Distribution & Trend Analysis: Features a detailed, question-by-question trend analysis of recent papers (July 2023 through June 2026), classifying each part by module, marks, and Theory vs. Practical nature.

Presentation-Ready Solutions (Two-in-One Paper)

Paper 10 combines two distinct disciplines: Corporate Accounting (heavily practical/numerical) and Auditing (largely conceptual/provisions-driven). This edition treats both halves with equal rigor:

• Section A (Corporate Accounting): Practical answers are laid out in full—complete with journal entries, ledger accounts, exact Schedule III formats, Cash Flow Statements (AS-3), and step-by-step working notes.

• Section B (Auditing): Auditing answers are presented in the crisp, point-wise, and examiner-friendly style required to score maximum marks on theory questions.

• ‘Quick Review’ Capsules: Chapters are front-loaded with 18 tabular ‘Quick Review’ recaps covering core concepts, definitions, and formats, serving as an instant refresher before tackling the questions.

Syllabus Coverage (ICMAI 2022 Syllabus)

The book mirrors the paper’s two-part structure across 8 comprehensive modules:

• Corporate Accounting: Shares & Debentures, Schedule III Financial Statements, Cash Flow Statements, Accounts of Special Entities (Banking, Electricity, Insurance), and Accounting Standards.

• Auditing: Basic Concepts of Auditing, Provisions relating to Audit under the Companies Act 2013, and the Auditing of Different Types of Undertakings.
