Key Praise Points

- "Accessible and patient": No question is dismissed as "too basic". He rephrases explanations multiple ways until the concept clicks.

Practice Questions
Test your understanding of exam concepts typically covered in CA Shirish Vyas's classes with these real exam-style MCQs:
Q1. Under Ind AS 115, revenue from a contract with a customer is recognised when performance obligations are satisfied. Which of the following best describes the timing of revenue recognition for a software subscription service with monthly instalments?
- Entire contract value recognised upfront when the contract is signed.
- Monthly instalments recognised as revenue when each monthly period is complete and the customer has obtained control of the service.
- Revenue recognised only when final payment is received from the customer.
- Revenue deferred entirely until all subscription periods have elapsed.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Ind AS 115 requires revenue recognition as performance obligations are satisfied over time. For subscription services, the entity satisfies the obligation monthly as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit. Monthly recognition aligns with when control of the service transfers to the customer each period.
Q2. A company received cash from a customer for services to be provided over 12 months. Under the accruals concept, when should revenue be recognised?
- In full when cash is received.
- Proportionately as services are delivered over the 12-month period.
- Only when the final payment is received.
- At the end of the 12-month period.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. The accruals concept (also called the matching principle) requires revenue to be recognised when it is earned, not when cash is received. Since services are delivered progressively over 12 months, revenue must be recognised proportionately as each month's service obligation is satisfied. This ensures income and expenses are matched to the period they relate to.
Q3. In an audit, an auditor identifies that a company has not disclosed related party transactions in the financial statements, even though they are material. What is the auditor's primary responsibility?
- Report the matter only to the audit committee verbally.
- Qualify the audit opinion and disclose the non-compliance in the audit report.
- Allow the company one month to correct the omission before reporting.
- Report the matter only to the Serious Fraud Office.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Under SA 550 (Related Party), the auditor must obtain sufficient audit evidence about related party relationships and transactions. Non-disclosure of material related party information is a significant deficiency in the financial statements. The auditor must qualify their opinion (Qualified or Adverse, depending on pervasiveness) and clearly disclose the non-compliance in the audit report. This ensures financial statement users are informed of the omission.
Q4. A company purchased inventory on 15 March 20X1 for ₹50,000 with terms "2/10, n/30" (2% discount if paid within 10 days, full payment due in 30 days). The company paid on 22 March 20X1. What is the cost of inventory to be recorded?
- ₹50,000 (the full invoice price).
- ₹49,000 (invoice price less the 2% discount).
- ₹50,000 (because the discount period has expired).
- ₹48,500 (50% of the discount amount applied).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Under Ind AS 2 (Inventories) and common accounting practice, trade discounts and early settlement discounts are treated as reductions in the purchase price and recorded at the net amount. Since payment was made on 22 March (within the 10-day discount period), the company qualifies for the 2% discount. The inventory is recorded at ₹49,000 (₹50,000 − ₹1,000). The discount is not a separate gain; it reduces the asset cost.
