Moving into FDD and wondering the same thing. I had several colleagues on the Audit side taking the exams, so I assume it’s doable. My takeaway is that you have to frame your experience to fit into the criteria:
“For a position to qualify, at least 50% of your time should be spent directly involved in the investment decision-making process *or producing a work product that informs or adds value to that process*” (emphasis added).
In audit, one produces work products to substantiate an audit opinion on whether decision-relevant financial information is materially correct for financial statement users and capital markets at large. On that basis I would argue that audit experience satisfies the requirements.
