Can someone please provide me tips on how to study for audit and how long will be sufficient. I took audit in February of this year and received a 53, got disappointed and now i am starting over. Have to take this test first because NTS expires in like 3 months i think. I have never worked in audit and currently work as an accountant 40 hours/week. I have the Roger course and wiley testbank, and NINJA 10 point combo minus the mcq’s cause they expired. THANKS A TON!!! It’s okay to be harsh, I rather hear the truth and just work my way from there.
oh yah and I have a textbook from college which I will read first for a week before going into the review course material.

the mnemonics in Becker helped me a LOT. especially the required components of the engagement letters

MR DIM REPPORTS CRAME – crame for crime and 2 P is repports

Management's
Responsibility
for the
Design
Implementation and
Maintenance of the internal controls

next section is the Auditor's Responsibility

Responsibility is to
Express an opinon on financials….standards require a
Plan and
Perform the audit procedures to
Obtain audit evidence…..including the assesments of the
Risks

etc….

lots of testing on the different levels of assurance and engagements an auditor can take and what kinds of letters go with each.

for the Sims, my Becker study material prepared me well. I studied about 8 weeks while working full time and got an 81.

good luck, don't gloss over any part, study it all, it's all fair game.

really understanding the different levels of attestation and the letters was key for me.

BEC - 8/8/16
REG - 66, 77
AUD - 81
FAR - 9/8/16
