    I’m fine with the technical material: bonds, DTA/DTL, equity transaction, EPS, and I’m even comfortable with pensions.

    The non technical stuff is killing me though. Should such and such be included in income, a separately stated item, extraordinary gain/loss? The SEC’s rulemaking procedures identified on their website include which of the following steps? A disclosure in the company’s financial statements is required when…? Etc.

    The technical material is a process that you can learn. I don’t know how to even begin learning all this other stuff though because it’s so arbitrary and esoteric.

    Suggestions? (I’m going to have a really tough time with audit aren’t I?)

    Weekends are meaningless to a CPA candidate

    It's a lot of memorization – so whatever works best for you. I like flash cards & mnemonics.

    And yeah, Audit is ALL memorization – lots & lots of mnemonics.
