    Sitting for AUD tomorrow and trying to focus in on different areas of review. Is there typically a large emphasis on the difference between international standards and US standards? Are there certain ones that are must knows?

    Any input appreciated. Thanks!

    I took AUD in January and I don't recall a single question mentioning IFRS. I wouldn't focus too much on the differences because even if it does pop on your exam, it would only be 1 or 2 questions.

    Since its the night before, better to watch TV and go to bed. I think you can still get by not knowing IFRS as long as you are competent in other areas.

    I can tell you for sure that you can't depend on this stuff not being on the exam. And you can't depend on it not being tested heavily. It all depends on which testlets the game deals you.

    @accountaholicc hey what was the difference between you taking Aud the 1st time vs passing the 2nd time since there is a significant increase in your score. I scored 59 on my 1st try and I walked out of the test room feeling as if I scored in the low 70's
