Allegro,

I wouldn't put FAR off until 2011 unless you're comfortable with IFRS.

Also, you could probably get all four sections done a lot quicker with the amount of time you plan on studying.  200-300hrs per section is way too much, in my opinion.

Kfan,

The beauty of the way the Exam is set up now is that it allows different viewpoints as to the order in which to take the sections.  Personally, I am taking REG followed by FAR, and I just finished AUD.

My order makes perfect sense for my situation.  I took Auditing and Taxation courses to satisfy my academic deficiency, therefore AUD and REG are still in my mind. so these topics came first.  I have had many years of practical experience, so many of the FAR topic come naturally to me.  I got my BA in Economics, so I decided to do BEC last.

My point being is what works for one person may not work, or even make sense for someone else.  I mentioned in a prior post in this thread that this is a personal choice based upon one's unique situation.  IMO, you can certainly suggest a order to a person based on your own experience, but unless you really know the inquirer, it may be best to let them figure it out themselves.

Cheers!
