Since the old GAAS will not be tested beginning with Q1 2014, would it be best to wait until then to take AUD, even if my study materials are for 2013?

I was wondering the same thing but the way I see it, I'll try it in the 4th quarter and if I fail, I'll take it in the 1st. However my firm is paying for this. Not sure if you're in a similar situation.

I personally think there will be no difference. I would try to take in in 2013 just to be done with it unless you have other exams to move around.

Good question – if you have study mats for 2013, then I would study for and try to take it in 2013. I've been studying for Audit and I personally don't think it's that big a deal to try to know both AU and AU-C versus not being tested on old GAAS starting in 2014. Imo, the changes are indeed *important* but not a ton more to memorize and study.

I would take it in the last block this year. If you do well, you're good! If not, you can always try again in 2014 and not even have to worry about GAAS principles etc.

DELAWARE

AUD: 74 (7/2014) 76 (11/2014) PASSED! USED YAEGER AND NINJA
BEC: 73 (9/2014) 76 (2/2014) SO FAR SO GOOD! USED NINJA AND WILEY
FAR: Will take after tax season (can't wait)
REG: Cue overly dramatic impending-doom music (will take in 2014)
