By: Philip Martin McCaulay

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Conquer the Exam in Under 90 Minutes series is the original audiobook-first exam prep solution. Built for efficiency and focus, these guides cover the essentials without padding or filler.

What sets this audiobook study guide apart is what it is not. It is not a sprawling textbook hundreds of pages long. It is not weighed down with practice questions that do not adapt well to audio. And it is not a generic review book with “CPA” in the title but no alignment to the actual exam blueprint.

Instead, this guide delivers a streamlined, targeted review of the Auditing and Attestation (AUD) section of the Uniform CPA Examination. It is structured directly on the official AICPA exam blueprint to ensure every chapter corresponds to tested domains. The goal is to strengthen your understanding of key concepts and help you apply professional judgment under exam conditions.

Coverage includes:
• Ethics, professional responsibilities, independence, and general principles of auditing
• Planning an engagement, understanding the client, and assessing risks of misstatement
• Evaluating internal control, IT systems, and the role of specialists and component auditors
• Sampling, substantive procedures, and obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence
• Special engagement risks, including estimates, related parties, litigation, and going concern
• Evaluating misstatements, reporting deficiencies, and addressing subsequent events
• Audit reports, modified opinions, emphasis paragraphs, and compliance reporting
• A final chapter on practical exam preparation and test-taking strategies

If you’ve already invested time and money into your CPA journey, don’t leave success to chance. This concise and focused review is here to help you pass the first time.
