I'm studying the 2008 Becker material. I'm taking the examine in Oct - Nov 2009. What are the new changes that I need to know for the FAR examine. What chapter(s) in the book or topics that changed and, where can I get the new information so I can study?

I plan on taking FAR, Auditing, & Regulation in Oct - Nov 2009.

Thank for your answers.

The rules on Business Combination that were in effect in Dec. 2008, will be tested beginning July-Aug 2009 time frame. 

(1) Is this the only change I need to be concern with. Seeing that I'm using 2008 material, what other new accounting changes will I need to study for, for the Oct-Nov 2009 examine.

I'm using Wiley/Gleim and they emphasize that on the study material.

(2) What study material are you using from Wiley/Gleim. Is it cds for one and books for the other, or is it a combination. And what do you like and dislike about Wiley/Gleim material? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

(3) Which material is more clear cut and easy to understand (not wordy)

"Candidates using Becker material can jump in and give some advice".

MANY THANKS to all for your help.
