Took AUD on July 5th. I used Becker to study. I reviewed all of the lectures. Worked all of the MCQs. Then I reworked about 1,000 of the MCQs. I did the SIMS twice. I took 3 progress test. I also took the two practice exams and did fairly well. I was shocked to find that a vast majority of the MCQs on the real exam had hardly anything to do with what I studied and I studied “everything”! The sims were also very fuzzy. My computer locked up on me twice while in the SIMS section and the 2nd time they moved me to another computer. I was able to pick up where I left off with the SIMS with exception of having to reenter the answers on the tab that I was working on. Just a little stressful.

I just answered the questions to the best of my knowledge. I wish eveyone else the best on their exam.

FAR - 2/28/14 PASS Praise be to God!
AUD - 7/5/14 PASS Praise be to God!
BEC - 11/29/14PASS Praise be to God!
REG - 2/28/14 PASS Praise be to God!

So I just got back from the exam. In simplicity this is what happened, the first test was just general questions that I recognized from test bank, then the second test was a little harder, I flag about three questions. The third one was tough, heavy tested on Internal Control, I can say it was like internal control exam. (lol).

Then goes to SIMs, 2 research questions they were straight if you have little knowledge about codification, then one JE question, then one ratio question (this was tough), another one was on independent impairment (not too bad but confusing).

Overall, mix feeling.

In the end practice Ninja more, I did almost 89% of Ninja questions, because of roughness they can prepare you at the crazy scenario that CPA will test you.

Iddy, if I were you, I would read #9… and then edit my post. Just a heads up.

Quick question. So I know that PCAOB was founded with SOX (governed by SEC?)and sets the auditing standard/procedures for issuers (public companies) and I know that the SAS (goverened by AICPA) sets the auditing standards for non-issuers (private companies). But i am confused with where GAAS comes into play. Do they apply to both issuers and non-issuers…and which one takes precedence?

If it's important to you, you will find a way. If it isn't, you will find an excuse.

@ NYCaccountant definitely on MCQ I think Ninja give you a good picture of tough exam. Sims depends on how much you know the material bottom line.

Hey guys. Took AUD back in May, failed. I believe the SIMS got the best of me. Could someone possibly explain to me how certain factors/situations outside the company and within the company affect Audit Risk. I understand what inherent risk, control risk and detection risk are (broadly speaking), but I got super flustered when I got a SIM giving me detailed situations and how these affect the different risks. Thank you

I'm in the same boat. I'm bummed about how long it will take to get the exam results from the beginning of the window, but time to move forward and hope for the best.

I have no audit experience. Does anyone here have any advice on how to attack this exam? I did fine in college, but it was one class.

@FAtoCPA,

I'm looking to test for AUD end of July/early August since I have started full time.

FA? Were you a financial advisor or financial analyst? Why are you making the switch to CPA?

[iddyrashy]

tgwadez11@ quick Audit Risk can be affected with Entity, Environment and Internal Control. Entity and Internal Control this is what you refereed within the company. Definitely you will agree if the internal control is weak then the risk for either error or fraud increase, if the entity is facing legal challenges such as patent infringement then they're daily operation is at cross road and that affect audit risk.

Outside can be area like industry, say you're auditing a newspaper company and you're seeing how online news is increasing market share that can increase the audit risk on areas such as revenue. So, both outside and inside risk can cause Audit Risk to skyrocket.

I hope it make sense. I better go back to study REG. Lol
