Hi guys,

I am retaking the AUD section after failing with low score so this time I would really like to organize my game plan this time.

So, I would like to ask students that took RogersCPA review course to verify the weighted sections vs the lectures from the course.

Also, where would “Section 9: Information Technology” correspond with which weighted sections?

->Understanding the Engagement (12-16%)

Section 1: Audit Standards & Eng planning

->Understanding the Entity (16-20%)

Section 3: Internal control

->Procedures and Evidence(16-20%)

Section 4: Audit evidence

Section 5: Audit Sampling

->Evaluation and Reporting(16-20%)

Section 6: Audit Reports

->Accounting and Review Services(12-16%)

Section 7: Compilation and Reviews

Section8: Other Services and Reports

->Professional Responsibilities(16-20%

Section 2: Prof resp and ethics

I don't use Roger, but I wanted to tell you that I did the same thing and lined up my Wiley chapters with the CSOs, and it was very helpful from a time management standpoint. It really does help to align things better to see what needs a bit more focus.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

Thank you guys for your replies. Much appreciated.

@CPAalltheway2015 yes I see that its part of the mnemonic CR”I”ME and use UPDATED for understanding the I/C. But I have no idea what your are referring to regards, “under the letter L, roman numeral v” ?

@nycpa2015, what I meant was that if you look under the Auditing & Attestation Content Specification Outline you'll find the part on IT (Roger's Section 9) under 2) Understanding the Entity and Its Environment (16-20%), subsection L) consider internal control then v) Identify key risks associated with general controls in a financial IT environment…

Hope that is clearer…wish I could post a screen shot.

@CPAalltheway2015 aw man sorry I am still not quite following you with the “subsection L” or “v”

Thanks anyway for your reply. I see that chap 9 is part of chap 3 now.

1 more thing, do you think my outline is accurate compare to the Roger's chapters?

Sorry that's not clear, taking the information from your original post this is what I meant:

->Understanding the Entity (16-20%)

Section 3: Internal control

Section 9: IT

🙂

Also, yes I came up with the same information you did as far as lining up the outline with Rogers. Good luck!
