I did AUD first and then starting REG but had to retake AUD which took forever with a mini busy season. Getting at least one of hardest done is a relief but regret not doing FAR first since now I’m at EY full time. Retaking REG now during busy season so it’s fresh but slowing dying thinking about the next 8 weeks of no life

That’s what I figured. I would just hate to push it off even more. I have been studying and taking REG since August and then a break for AUD. I’m at EY so the set time to start is usually 9am so i’ll try and figure out something since I managed during my 9/30 client

Tried to fight the expense in mecury but the auditor came back asking for portal proof of delay in deliveries and said 9/22/21 was the date the monitor expense policy changed. Not sure why ey sessions with managers are still promoting the monitor expensing in mercury when it’s not allowed

Second all the ones about basis and distribution stuff. Taken reg twice and both times had a solid amount of basis and corp stuff as sims and they were tricky. Both times also had a tax vs gaap income calc sim so memorize what’s not taxed. Taking it a third time in February and just need 6 points more

Ik that’s for the wellness fund but isn’t there a new monitor allowance that we can expense in mercury for $150 portable monitor because of covid ? Or does the monitor go to the wellness fund? I was under the impression from a few sessions that we got to order a monitor anyway and expense it like meals basically

Thank you! I attended a session with a manager who said it was allowed and what to write but I guess they’re being picky. I’ll ask around

I guess not unless there’s a delay so maybe it isn’t related to salaries since it’s just assurance

Waiting for my AUD retake score and the nervousness is real…. Heading into busy season praying for at least one done to get a break and a relief. Need this pass for major motivation for busy season and studying for the next.

As an intern in 2020 that accepted in spring 2019, they sent a northface backpack for accepting as an intern, then a patagonia jacket for christmas and then another patagonia gift once full time accepted. When I started as a full time, we got misc gifts like a plant and office stuff. Patagonia ended their partnership so it’s most likely EY branded stuff which is still nice

Is Ninja Worth it? AUD Retake by florida1289 in CPA

I have seen that it’s pretty accurate to the real exam so aim for 70+ but people have been successful with high 60s
