I don't see much point in putting REG in between AUD and FAR. AUD and FAR overlap a lot, so I think that it makes more sense to take those consecutively.

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!

Kfan's point is still very valid even though it doesn't apply to your situation. Generally speaking, it makes sense to take AUD after FAR since FAR focuses on how the financial statements are prepared and AUD basically focuses on verifying they're prepared correctly. Everyone needs to eventually figure it out for themselves, but it never hurts to have some input to consider. Besides, the OP asked for advice.

i did a double major in finance and accounting to meet the 150 hours, instead of getting a masters degree. I think that the finance degree will help a lot for pieces in the BEC and FAR section, the accounting will just help out more overall all of them of course. I'm still debating what order to take these exams in now. I'm thinking REG and BEC first since tax and cost accounting are my final classes, then AUD and FAR. Did some projects in college in the last 6 months that were IFRS related, hope this helps out too.

Might try this now:

REG
BEC
FAR
AUD
