ConferenzaDr. Yogesh Patil teaches CA Intermediate subjects on Conferenza with a focus on concept clarity and exam-pattern alignment. His live batches, practical teaching method and competitive batch pricing (starting ₹8999) have made him a trusted choice for students preparing for ICAI exams. This guide walks you through his teaching scope, batch structure, and why his courses resonate with toppers.
Who is Dr. Yogesh Patil?
Dr. Yogesh Patil is an experienced CA faculty with deep expertise in Intermediate-level subjects. His teaching philosophy centres on building concept foundations rather than rote memorisation—a critical edge in ICAI exams where application questions dominate. He has worked with hundreds of students across Conferenza and maintains a high student satisfaction rate through live interaction, doubt-clearing and regular revision tests.

Teaching Approach & Methodology
Live Interactive Sessions
Dr. Yogesh Patil conducts live classes rather than pre-recorded only. This allows real-time doubt clarification, student polls during complex topics, and adaptive pacing based on batch comprehension. Students report that his willingness to revisit concepts when needed reduces anxiety in subjects like Financial Reporting.
Problem-Solving Over Definitions
Rather than lecturing theory in isolation, he begins with exam-standard problems and builds the theory backwards. For instance, in Cost Accounting, he'll present a standard costing variance problem first, then show how the formula emerges from first principles. This "backwards design" method helps students remember why a concept exists, not just what it is.
Revision Tests & Performance Tracking
Every topic ends with a mini revision test. Results feed into a personal progress dashboard—students can see which areas need rework before the exam. This is particularly valuable in Taxation, where the June/November exams test cumulative understanding.
Case Study Integration
Dr. Yogesh Patil weaves real-world scenarios into his teaching. For Audit, he uses anonymised case studies of actual audit findings; for GST, he references CBIC clarifications and tribunal judgements. This approach trains students to apply knowledge under exam pressure, not just regurgitate definitions.

Practice Questions
To help you assess your readiness for Dr. Yogesh Patil's CA Intermediate curriculum, here are sample questions aligned to his teaching areas:
Q1. Under Ind AS 10 (Events after the Reporting Period), which of the following is NOT an adjusting event?
- Announcement of bonus shares before the financial statements are authorised for issue
- Receipt of information after the reporting period indicating that an asset was impaired at the reporting date
- Discovery of fraud that occurred during the reporting period
- Significant fall in market value of investments occurring after the reporting date
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Ind AS 10 distinguishes between adjusting events (which provide evidence of conditions existing at the reporting date and require adjustment) and non-adjusting events (which relate to conditions arising after the reporting date and require disclosure only, not adjustment). The significant fall in market value after the reporting date is a non-adjusting event because it reflects post-period-end market conditions, not a condition that existed at the reporting date. Options A, B, and C are all adjusting events because they either confirm positions existing at year-end or reveal information about those conditions.
Q2. A company manufactured 10,000 units with standard material cost of ₹50 per unit. Actual material consumption was 8,500 kg at ₹55 per kg. Standard quantity for 10,000 units was 8,000 kg. Calculate the material price variance.
- ₹42,500 (Adverse)
- ₹27,500 (Adverse)
- ₹25,000 (Adverse)
- ₹55,000 (Favorable)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Material Price Variance = (Standard Price − Actual Price) × Actual Quantity = (₹50 − ₹55) × 8,500 kg = −₹5 × 8,500 = −₹42,500 (Adverse). The variance is adverse because the actual price (₹55 per kg) exceeded the standard price (₹50 per kg). Note that the standard quantity (8,000 kg) is not used in the price variance calculation—only the actual quantity consumed and the per-unit price difference are relevant.
Q3. An auditor is testing the completeness of recorded sales. Which of the following audit procedures is MOST effective in detecting unrecorded sales transactions?
- Testing a sample of recorded sales invoices to supporting dispatch documents
- Tracing a sample of dispatch documents to recorded sales invoices
- Reviewing the sales journal for unusual entries or gaps in invoice numbering
- Confirming accounts receivable balances with customers
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. To test completeness, the auditor must verify that all transactions that occurred (dispatch) were recorded (sales). This is best done by tracing a sample of dispatch documents (the population of all goods that went out) to the sales journal, identifying any dispatches not recorded as sales. Option A tests accuracy (recorded sales are valid), not completeness. Option C tests presentation and organisation. Option D tests existence but relies on customer confirmation, which is less direct than documentary evidence. The direction of testing (from dispatch to sales) is crucial for completeness assertions.
Q4. Under the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which of the following supplies qualifies for a lower tax rate due to its essential nature?
- Luxury watches valued above ₹50,000
- Unprocessed food grains
- Branded cosmetics
- Air conditioners with cooling capacity exceeding 2 tonnes
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Unprocessed food grains are classified under GST Schedule I and attract 0% GST (nil-rated supply) because they are considered essential and life-sustaining. Luxury items (watches, branded cosmetics, air conditioners above specified capacity) attract higher rates (12–28%) to promote equity and discourage non-essential consumption. Understanding the GST rate structure is critical for answering pricing, compliance and input tax credit questions in the exam. Dr. Yogesh Patil's teaching emphasises these rate categories and their commercial implications.
