Thank you for these kind words! It’s good to know we’re all in the same boat and trying to get through the process. I hope you will be able to pass AUD and be done with it ! Good luck :)

Okay. Possibly a stupid question BUT Imma ask anyway.

Can someone just explain how you plan out how much to bill so you can make sure it’s not a mad scramble at the end of year? I’m moving from a firm where I was lacking in any kind of mentorship. No one ever just sat down and explained the most efficient way to track/measure your hours to confirm that you are on track.

Hello all
I am a biology graduate. I worked in cancer research and development for more than two years. Recently moved to Canada, and now I'm wanting to transition into clinical research.
Most jobs I find online ask for atleast 2 years clinical experience.
Does anyone have any tips on how to procure this experience? Should I invest in a course? Or should I volunteer at a CRO?
I recently got offered a clinical admin position, would this count as clinical exp?
Thanks

Okay soooo I have an adult 8 year old Maltese. I have tried everything from Farmers dog to Caesar. Mixing wet and dry...putting toppers on. I kinda got him to eat out of my hand. But I have to put bland chicken on top just to get him to come near it. I have tried the leave food down for 20 minutes then pick it up....he just won't eat. I'm gonna try Pet Plate subscription to see if that works. Hopefully it does.

Any pet owners have any suggestions. I'm a newbie. I've only had my Ben since May.

Explain this logic: if you are fresh out of school and finish exams before starting to work- no problem. BUT once you start working you aren’t allowed to request less hours or part time because then you are weak or can’t handle it. Why must we break ourselves for this exam and our work?

Anyone taken REG this Q yet and can give insight on what areas were heavily tested on for you? It's my last exam and I'm on a marathon to pass it before FAR expires. First time I took it last November resulted in me getting a 74 and losing all motivation to study after being so close to finishing, so I honestly haven't touched Becker in almost a year and don't even remember which areas are the big ticket ones to focus on. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Took FAR 3 years ago, and scored a 72. Re-taking next week. Any specific topics besides not-for-profit/GASB that I should focus on? I believe accrual vs cash basis was heavily tested last time I sat!

I did lots of MCQs, scored around 70 & 80s yet I failed in the exam. Anyone with similar exp? What could possibly be wrong that am doing here? Please help.

REG: I thought distributions in excess of capital invested (aka basis) would just be a capital gain. Could someone explain this?
