    I will have about 5 days of review and was wondering if it is possible to learn A6(Becker) while reviewing and not necessarily redoing all of the homework?

    I don't use Becker…but if I was in a similar spot, I might skimp on the homework for A6, and do more review of all the chapters. Maybe not re-do all the homework…but “steal” sometime from A6 to use for the rest. Watch the lectures, read the book, whatever your “learning” part of your routine is, but only do part of the homework so that you have more time for reviewing.

    I don't know what material is in A6…but that's my 2 cents with 1 chapter left in general. 😉

    It probably is possible, a lot of the beginning is a combination of common sense and a stuff earlier that you've learned.

    Definitely take a look at the Rules set up by the AICPA especially rule 101….becker says that its a big one, and also the 6 articles the names will do. ( responsibility, public interest, integrity, objectivity & independence, due care, scope and nature of services).

    Some key things that come to mind

    Partner rotations for PCAOB (lead and concurring partner 5 years on and 5 years cooling off


    7 years for others)

    Audit documentation record keeping ( PCAOB 7 years SAS nonissuer – 5 ) and completion dates PCAOB- 45 days SAS nonissuer – 60 days

    permanent and current files

    auditing through the computer- tagging, embedded audit procedures, integrated test facility, parallel simulations

    Definitely take a look at the Government auditing section because there is a lot going on, govt needs more info than a regular audit.

    theres a lot more that i didnt cover so dont use just what as i said as the only things to study.
