As far as cost accounting by sohail afzal is concerned then you should read it completely..
And remember "There's no short cut of certain success".

1-In Financial Accounting book of Sohail Afzal you have mentioned Chapter no 7,8,9,14,15 ! I didn't get where are these topics in syllabus
Answer:
As you are familiar that there will two parts of the paper objective and subjective. You need to study these chapters because these are basic and core chapters of Accounting. Moreover, in order to have good grip over subjective you should study these chapters. Otherwise, you will not be able to do well in the paper. Maximum 4 hours are needed to study these chapters. So don't worry about it.

2- Closing and reversing entries?
You can do them from chapter 9 of the said book of sohail Afzal. For additional study consult accounting by meigs and meigs chapter 5,6,7. Please check it.
3-About link?
Just google it and search it on google and download it "Financial Management by Gitman".
4-Managerial Accounting by Hilton

Chapter-1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10, (This book doesn't cover many topics so try to find out the relevant chapters i mentioned above or you can read them from Google books, these books are available)

Paper-2

Reading Material:
Auditing by S.K Basu
Auditing by Khawaja Amjad Saeed
Virtual University Notes
Audit Standards (Don't read each and every word only relevant material if you want me to send relevant material then I can mail you)

Before giving outlines about Auditing; let me make it clear that Audit syllabus is ambiguous and everything is written in a random manner. So in order to do complete preparation in systematic manner, I'll write syllabus in the most logical way so that my fellows can prepare well. Moreover, I'm aware the outlines are ambiguous too and those who are studying it first time, will be perplexed with it. Unfortunately, we don't have any standard text available in the market. In near future, I'll try to compile notes of Auditing which would be detailed and cover complete syllabus, but it will take time.

3.iv)Internal Control and Accounting system review
4-Overall Audit Plan
5-Designing Audit Programs
6-Obtaining Audit Evidence by Audit Procedures using audit sampling
7-Forming opinion and reporting
For more information search from Google

iv) Audit Engagement
ISA-210

v) Audit Documentation (Tells you what sort of documents you need to compile)
ISA-230

vi) Auditor's responsibility to consider fraud
ISA-240

vii) Planning of Audit

Secondly for cost accounting i have two books ! 1 is of Sohail Afzal & the other one is by Matz n Usry ! Please if you tell me the chapters from these two books i shall be grateful

For Auditing I've M Irshad book! Again if you can tell me the chapters from this book to be covered as per mentioned syllabus, i will highly appreciate it

Because i don't have much time ! Just need someone with whom i can match the chapters to be covered !

PS ( I've seen in your profile that you've opted Business Administration & Mercantile law as well ! If you can mention the chapter wise syllabus of these subjects in their respective threads , it would be great )

Firstly, Whatever I have written it's based upon past papers. If I recommended you to read Chapter 7,8,9,14,15 then I have seen questions in Past Papers from these chapters. Moreover, these are the part of the syllabus it's implied. Fpsc has not given you each and every topic to prepare. So if you leave these chapters it will be detrimental. So you should at least study complete book of Sohail Afzal As I've mentioned. It would take 4 days if you study diligently.


Secondly, Even if you study cost accounting from Sohail Afzal's book, you still can't cover complete syllabus. So given time limitation, I can tell you to read complete book of Sohail Afzal plus find out some chapters concerning "Variance Analysis, Standard Costing, Break Even Analysis.

Thirdly I don't have Matz Usry's book so cannot recommend you anything from it.
Finally, yes,my optionals are BA and ML but I'm an aspirant for CE-2017 and hence, i've not studied them completely. But I'll try to post syllabus soon provided that I have time.
