		<title>Accountant Hobbies &#8211; New Poll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve added a new poll to the sidebar so we can see which hobbies are most popular among accountants. I&#8217;m being facetious here, because I threw in all of the stereotypical hobbies I could think of, based on my personal experiences at recruiting events. So, quick, add your hobby to the results (you can check [...]

		<title>Bookkeeping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I snagged a part-time bookkeeping job for the summer, which is perfect, because I think having some bookkeeping experience will be really helpful as an auditor! It&#8217;s hard to go and ask people in your client&#8217;s accounting department for paperwork without really understanding how an accounting system functions. Now, even if a client has a [...]

		<title>Forensic Accounting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent the month of May being very busy taking my last class of my Masters degree: Forensic Accounting. It was a pretty cool class. We spent about 3 weeks in class, with 2 weeks devoted to speakers from all areas of the profession from lawyers to one-man forensic accounting firms to ex-FBI agents. Outside [...]

		<title>Passed AUD!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who have been paying close attention, I posted my passing AUD score on here last weekend. I intended to write a post then, but it somehow got put off amid studying for midterms and for BEC. So, I&#8217;m a little surprised at how close together my AUD and REG scores are, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So, I was never able to access my CPA scores through NASBA&#8217;s online system for REG and AUD. It seems like I *still* can&#8217;t access them to see my AUD score. I guess they have my birthday or something wrong in their system, since that is was you put in as a sort of &#8220;password&#8221; [...]

		<title>Beginning of Spring!</title>

It has been spring-like weather anyway, and I&#8217;m loving the sunny days. I&#8217;m starting on the third of four Roger CPA review modules for BEC this week. I have less time than ever to fit in studying, and [...]

		<title>So this is what BEC looks like&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally sat down and got started reviewing for BEC this weekend. So far, chapter 1 hits on a lot of topics that are familiar from studying for REG, like partnership formation and authority. Flipping through and seeing what the other chapters cover, it looks like quite a mish-mash of topics. I&#8217;ve studied a lot [...]
