    Hi Everyone–I bought my Wiley books last year, and I’m finally getting around to my BEC retake. Does anyone know if any major changes occurred between 2012 and 2013? Thanks for your help!

    I hope so… I am as well. I also bought the test bank. I'd be more nervous using say, an older REG book, because of taxes. But supply/demand curves, how bonds work, etc. etc. that stuff is more stagnant.

    Have no worries on this. Laws of Supply and Demand, Variance Analysis, Computations of ROI, Cost Accounting hasn't changed.

    I would be concerned if this were the case for REG (where phase outs are ever changing), FAR (due to the induction of IFRS into the test) and even AUD (which has changed in July of this year). However, for BEC, you're in the clear.

    Thank you everyone! I thought I had heard something about the COSO rules possibly changing, so I got a little nervous. Nice to the know that I'm in the clear. Thanks!
