3. As above given sequence, you should start with the preparation of Professional Ethics as this is the most interesting & a very easy scoring topic. You should solve all the questions given in the practice manual issued by ICAI.

4. Then after, you need to study the SA portion. You should refer Surbhi Bansal or Pankaj Garg or your class notes or any other book that you are comfortable with. After doing all this, jump to the Practice Manual & try to understand the application of each SA.  Use the scanner to find out the important auditing standards from the exam point of view.

5. The next topic is accounting standards. Just like the Accounts paper, practical questions relating to Accounting Standards are also asked in the Audit paper. You must have already covered this in the ‘Financial Reporting’ paper.

6. Now, you are through with almost 60% of the course in terms of exam weightage. You are now left with the General Auditing Chapters from which usually Direct Theory questions are asked. There are some important topics here which carry more weightage in the exams. Generally, topics like Company Audit, Audit Report & the SOX Act are asked frequently.

7. Now some relatively less important topics are left to be covered. For this, just pick up any short & simple book and give a quick reading to the remaining topics. Have a good understanding of these topics so that you can atleast attempt these questions by giving some logical answers.

8. As per my understanding audit is a paper requires lots of quick and logical application of mind to answer practical problems. Hence I’d suggest you to give a reading to ICAI audit study material to understand the depth and figure out the efforts and time required for preparation. By this kind of reading you may prepare a strategy for audit purpose.

9. Make good Reading along with preparing notes habit otherwise you won’t able to cover the syllabus.
