    @OUCPA84

    Thank you for your help! I don't think this is a big part of the test. I wont stress about it and focus on other stuff.

    What are some financial ratios that I should memorize? Jeff's ninja notes only list quick ratio, current ratio, gross profit margin, and asset turnover. Is that all I need to know?

    I plan to take AUD in July, does anyone have suggestions on study material to use? I would like input on positives and negatives that you have about any materials you have used. Thanks!!

    I already have purchased NINJA Flashcards and plan to purchase NINJA notes, but believe I would need a review course to go along with these.

    @CPA Study Victim – Yeah I feel the need to use all my resources so I'm going through them all but I'm so glad that I'm almost done watching them all!

    Becker is starting to feel a little overpriced. I guess it's the very regular updates and support that really justifies the cost. I'm annoyed too because I live in a fairly large city, but Becker doesn't offer Fastpass here which would be nice to use. If I did go I'd have to drive an hour and a half each way to a college town which is nearly vacant over summer anyway. They can't have very good attendance there. I don't get the logic on that one.

    Using Wiley and Becker.
    BEC - passed! 2/2012
    AUD - passed! 10/2012
    FAR - 1/2013
    REG - passed! 11/2012

    I used becker. I think what helped me a lot were the flashcards b/c they had the entire opinion typed out, and I was able to memorize what was in each of the opinions. I walked out of that test having flagged like 25% of the questions as “no idea”. I don't really know how I ended up in the high 90s.. I guess the questions are weighted?

    FAR - 96 (1/25/12)
    BEC - 89 (2/27/12)
    AUD - 97 (4/09/12)
    REG - 90 (5/15/12)
    Done!!!

    I have a question about this question in the becker pass master

    In performing a count of negotiable securities, an auditor records the details of the count on a security count worksheet. What other information is usually included on this worksheet?

    Answer: An acknowledgment by a client representative that the securities were returned intact.

    Explanation. The auditor would generally obtain an acknowledgment from the client that the securities were returned intact. This helps maintain accountability for the securities, and reduces the likelihood of employee misappopriation(eg if a client employee were to steal a security and blame the auditor)

    Okay, I understand the answer and everything about the question. I just don't know why an auditor has to return or even take the securities to count them? Are they sheets of paper saying this is how many stocks/ bonds I have? and the auditor is just looking at these sheets to verify that is what is on the financial statements.

    I guess I don't know how you can count securities. Since I have never seen an actual form of “security”

    @Sunset: This is what you have to do. You should meditate at least for 30 minutes a day. This will clear up your mind from any negative/ limiting beliefs. At the same time, it will help you learn any material a lot faster, and you will retain what you learn better. I'm sure you can pass this test, but its not just about how EFFICIENT you study, its about how EFFECTIVE your studying is.

    Note: Highlighted terms will help you in AUD.

    Hey Guys,

    Question for AUD pros:

    I am confused on this Wiley's question, which says that When 3rd party use of prospective financial statements is expected accountant may not accept engagement to review.

    This is an explanation:

    This answer is correct because the professional standards which presents the standards with respect to the accountant’s obligations for prospective financial statements (forecasts and projections), does not allow for the review form of association under any circumstance.

    According to Becker only financial projections are restricted.

    Am I confusing the two concepts? I would greatly appreciate clarification.

    Thank you.

    For effective internal control purposes, the vouchers payable department generally should:

    a. Stamp, perforate, or otherwise cancel supporting documentation after payment is mailed.

    b. Ascertain that each requisition is approved as to price, quantity and quality by an authorized employee.

    c. Obliterate the quantity ordered on the receiving department copy of the purchase order.

    d. Establish the agreement of the vendor's invoice with the receiving report and purchase order.

    Explanation

    Choice “d” is correct. For effective internal control purposes, the vouchers payable department generally

    should establish the agreement of the vendor's invoice with the receiving report and purchase order.

    What the heck is a voucher's payable department. In fact what is a voucher.

    Does anyone have tips regarding the responsibilities of the treasurer and anything to do with payrolls, and vouchers. I always get those questions wrong. I just have no idea what they do in terms of a business entity.

    Also, why is this answer right. How can I think of it more intuitively.
