Hi everyone,
Do you think which one is better ? Becker or Wiley . I just finished BEC exam. I am going to study for FAR or AUD. Do you think which one i should study first ? Far or Audit ?

I had read that AUD includes material that needs understanding of FAR. So I chose to do FAR before. Currently studying for it with Becker, and very satisfied.

oh thank you . you already passed REG . how long had you studied for it ? my major is not about the tax . so i think i should study RREG now, then i take FAR finally is AUD. what do you think ?

I would recommend FAR first as you kind of need to understand a lot of FAR concepts to audit them. Also if you are going to sit in Q4 (probably unlikely this later but just in case) the current lease standard is much easier than the new one in my opinion and testing changes to the new one for Q1 of 2019.

Wiley sucks big time

@Tracytrinh you can do REG before, I think the material is pretty much Independent of any of the other exams. For me it was easier than FAR, Its more rules based not heavy calculations. I had zero experience or knowledge on corp tax either just took one course in college on individual taxes- that I didnt remember too much anyways. I studied for about 3 months, you can definitely do less.

Wiley is better unless underlining all over the book is your thing.
