    Can anyone help me access the AL related to Audit? I had no problem with FAR but can’t seem to get to the audit stuff through the NASBA access. My NTS was for both.
    This is all that seems to come up: https://library.aicpa.org/content/SiteFolder/17895 It says Audit and Accounting Literature but all it has is “What’s New” and “AICPA Professional Standards”, which seems extremely limited.
    Is there another link I should be using? Thanks.

    It appears that they recently changed the website to be completely non-functional.
    I was able to search yesterday, but the navigation to topics before or after, or seeing the “tree” of information appears to no longer work.
    My suggestion to you is to just search for what you are looking for. Not sure what else to do for now.

    This is the link I use to login, as provided by them.

    Interesting….. that is the same link I use to login, but when I clicked on yours, at least some kind of “tree” popped up. It has AU-C, PCAOB selected statements, BL, ET, etc.
    Whyyyy can't they make at least this little part easier for us??

    Is it worthwhile to spend time learning the section numbers and related topics? e.g. 2.310 Compliance with Standards?

    no. you can just search using the search bar and no MCQ's ask what a particular section's rules are. Putting your search in quotes works very well also when searching within the AL.

    @bourne correct. Also, the authoritative literature provided during the exam is extremely limited. It provides only the relevant sections applicable to the question being asked. Otherwise, you can navigate the literature and find a bunch of “dead ends” so to sp9eak. Searching with quotation marks, advanced search feature, etc. is definitely the way to go

    The AL in Gleim is limited, I assume that is the course you are using.
    The AL in the test seems to be pretty broad and open, based on my experience in both FAR and AUD.
