Took audit. I crushed the mcqs as I always do as I am good with those. 2nd testlet was substantially harder/tricker than the first. First set of sims was research and a DRS. Nailed the sim, DRS I think I did well. Other 6 sims included a FAR sim with journal entries and the others required assertions, controls, explanations for changes, communication to management and the like. I'm hoping this is it and I'm certified as of august 17. I can't stand this fucking exam anymore taking my life away.

Yeah just took AUD yesterday. MC seemed pretty straightforward, sims were a pain as usual (FAR style JE question was garbage). Now the fun wait begins

@Crowe1, it seems like a lot of people had the same type of sims

Yes, I took Audit yesterday and the last sim was awful. It looked like FAR sim

I hope the last Audit sim was a test question 🤓

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
