Chapter 6 - Other Services provided by CPA Firms, Quality Control, and Ethical Requirements

As we mentioned at the beginning of Chapter 5, the overall game plan with Chapters 5 and 6 is keeping all of these different topics straight and then knowing the specific rules for each topic. We will guide you through this process as well as making you aware of the most important rules for each topic.

Related to retaining the material, we hope around the end of your studies for Chapter 5 of BOOST, you took a practice test on the previous material to provide you feedback regarding how well you understand this material and are retaining it (remember, if you are not retaining it, you need to consider changing your study plan).

Please don't rush through this material and take your time to understand it. Remember, an additional week of studying (if needed) will be well worth it if the additional time is the difference between passing and failing the audit section of the CPA exam! Also, it is significantly more effective and efficient to address weaknesses in a specific topic when working on that topic rather than waiting until final review to address those weaknesses.

Also, when you are close to completing Chapter 6 of BOOST, you should take a practice test (with only multiple choice) for the content noted on page one or two of the document with content comparisons of BOOST and Becker, Roger, or Wiley CPAexcel. This practice test will help you determine how much of the Chapters 1 to 5 BOOST information you have retained and how well you have integrated the various topics in Chapters 1 to 5. You should review your notes (which are a subsection of the BOOST outlines) periodically during the week to keep this information fresh in your mind. 

Good luck as you begin your studies of Chapter 6! Some of the page numbers in the videos are not the same as the page numbers in the BOOST textbook. Please use the page numbers in the BOOST textbook.

Remember, please contact BOOST CPA Review by email if you have any questions as you work through Chapter 6.

AFTER WATCHING EACH VIDEO BELOW, please complete the appropriate multiple choice and simulations related to each of these videos. Please refer to the document with content comparisons of BOOST and Becker, Roger, or Wiley CPAexcel to determine which multiple choice and simulations to complete.

After chapter 6 of BOOST, you will move to your final review. Please keep in mind the guidance we provide in the "final review" module on the site.
