@kpb: Yeah — I listen to all of the lectures. I type out notes in a Word document contemporaneously with each lecture. I usually don't go back to review my notes all that much, but it's helpful if only just to force me to think about the material while I'm listening to it.
@AScott89: I struggled with transaction cycles for AUD. After I got a 65% or so on the homework, I realized I didn't know them as well as I thought I did… and so I did all the questions over again, reasoning out why the wrong answers were wrong. It helped a lot.
There's a ton of information with transaction cycles, and that means you definitely want to prioritize it. You must know the revenue cycle and the expenditure cycle in detail. Understanding the inventory cycle is probably pretty useful, too. I don't really remember the other ones, but having a broad idea of how those work is likely enough. Don't kill yourself trying to understand the minutia.
I also drew out the revenue / expenditure flowcharts a couple of times each and made sure I knew how to separate roles into authorization, recordkeeping, and custody. That ends up covering a lot. I'm not sure if that's in Wiley or not, but it was way easier to visualize with a flowchart as opposed to blocks of text.
