Tips for the CPA - AUD and BEC

As the second quarter has wrapped up, my CPA journey has as well. I started studying for the CPA in end of May/beginning of June of this year and I am so happy to say that I was able to finish them all before 2022. That was a goal of mine, to leave the CPA in 2021. I took REG, FAR, AUD, and finished with BEC. I recommend this order because REG is a healthy mix of both conceptual and mathematical questions, whereas FAR is mainly all math and AUD is all conceptual. BEC is its own thing, but I felt this order was very beneficial to me.

My Core Capstone Experience

One of the most interesting parts of the Specialized Master in Finance program so far has been the Core Capstone Project that all SMF students complete in their second session at OSU. Since I just wrapped it up, I thought it would be good to share my experience with this project.
