I think that is more than enough, depending on your study hours. My suggestion (after sitting 3 times) is memorize the terms, make sure you can identify say the different between tests of control and tests of detail. This way when presented with a test question, no matter how back-a$$-wards it is, you will be able to identify what they are looking for. Also the reports, be able to idenitfy the different aspects of reports and what qualifies for a certain opinion. My advice, and people might disagree, but memorize, memorize, memorize :D I didnt do this on my first 2 sections and it really hurt me I think. I walked out of Audit feeling somewhat ok this time!!!

Read somewhere I think in Wiley how many different times can they really change/alter an audit question, there are hardly any numbers besides say the ratios. Wiley personally really helped me with Audit. If you are rusty on the concepts, people say Becker or Yaeger are good. When do you sit?



I just got done with my BEC and haven't gotten around to setting a date for Audit yet. I was thinking late Oct or early Nov since Sept seems like a busy month at work. I'm trying to motivate myself not to procrastinate and jump back on getting ready for Audit.

Also I have the Becker software- but I found that I'm very rusty on the reports, and the ratios. Seems like there's no way out but cramming/memorizing these.

Thank you again for those pointers, it helps to get some advice from people who've already been through this! :)

Yea... I sucked at ratios until I just starting writing them over, and over and over again.. Finally it stuck. No idea how but it stuck. I was so, so on reports. I am hoping it was good enough to pass. Wiley was VERY good at teaching you ratios. Also BEC for Wiley as well.

CAN someone please give me some tips on studying auditing

read book, watch dvd and then do question?

the questions from the wiley book does not relate to the notes in the book the answer says

according to AU 316 for example

does wiley expects one to review all the standards before doing the questions in the book

thank you

I think the Wiley book says to read the Module and then read the AUs and do the questions.  They say that the modules should provide an overview to help us better understand the standards.

But it's overwhelming because there are so many standards! My studies have been going painfully slow, and i'm scheduled to take Audit in 3 weeks, so right now i am just trying to skim over the standards that relate to the questions, and try to cover as much material as possible.
