Hi everyone. I am about to start studying for Audit, cutting it close with only 3 weeks but my plan is to not waste time with the videos with so little time, as Jeff suggests. Any advice/tips would be really appreciated. I am using Becker 2013, which I think automatically hanged itself to the vB after May 31st.

Would also love to know what stage of studying everyone is at!

BEC: 73, 81
AUD: 85
FAR: 71, 77
REG: 74, 75...finally DONE! 😀

*This is my 2nd attempt at the CPA exam. For all of you who have failed this exam many times, given up on it, or taken a break like me, remember that it is still possible to finish what you started...failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently 🙂

Hi everyone!!

Quick question for those of you who are studying with Becker and have studied the version A of the book(before the clarity change) Only A1 has changed right? I am asking, because I am short on time and I cant afford to watch the videos all over again, so I want to study the already highlighted Version A book and A1 from Version B.

Thanks!

Disparity between wiley and becker..Becker says “while expressing a qualified opinion auditor responsibility paragraph changes but wiley says it doesn't( q 46 mod 5)”…another question (q11 wiley module 5) wiley says “examination of evidence on a test basis” is explicitly required in the report but becker disagrees… any opinions??

@varun19892006 – Wiley Q11 Mod 5 is wrong. My Yaegar videos told me so, and Wiley text actually explains it that way, but the answer is just wrong.

PCAOB standards (Becker's AUD-B p.A4-5) state that the relevance of audit evidence depends on:

(1) design of the audit procedure

(2) timing of the audit procedure.

Can someone please explain to me in simpler details why does the auditor's risk assessment NOT determine the relevance of audit evidence per PCAOB standards?

I am lost with this one!

This is from the PCAOB Standard 15

Relevance. The relevance of audit evidence refers to its relationship to the assertion or to the objective of the control being tested. The relevance of audit evidence depends on:

The design of the audit procedure used to test the assertion or control, in particular whether it is designed to (1) test the assertion or control directly and (2) test for understatement or overstatement; and

The timing of the audit procedure used to test the assertion or control.

If you are thinking that if there is a high RMM, you should need more relevant audit evidence. Well that has to do with the sufficiency rather than appropriateness of evidence.

After a week of feeling stuck, I suddenly felt so pumped to study AUD yesterday. Finished a whole A2 in a day and I think I'm really getting it now. Plus did more stuff for work than I usually do.. anyways, yeah I just wanted to brag to hopefully make me more committed to studying today. AUD is not easy! Study on everyone!
