If I’ve worked in audit for 5 years, how much time do I need to study for AUD? Is it possible to just wing it and not study given my work experience?

Work experience will definitely help but aud also has a lot of memorization things that it’d probably be helpful to study some

Also AUD has the second lowest pass rate

I’ve worked in audit for 4 years. Studied for three weeks this summer and passed. Probably don’t need to spend as much time as other people but Still worth studying for.

It used to be possible on the old exam. Someone just posted on Reddit studying for less than 1 day and passed. They took all 4 exams in one month. BUT, that was the old exam. New exam is supposed to have more old BEC stuff and be harder

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.
