Hi Tracy,

Thank you for your question.

I cant really understand the first part of your question but If you mean ...

1. Can I do Tax before I tackle Audit?

2. Is Audit easier then Tax?


If you mean by Q 1 that is it possible for you to take the papers in that arrangement then yes its possible. ACCA allows you to take F8 before F6. Its your choice.

As for your 2nd question . I would really suggest that you take tax before take Audit.
I gave the tax this session and now taking F7 and F8 in June 08.

Taking F6 would ensure that you have a smooth foundation about tax issues and would also broaden your understanding of many aspects of financial system.

I think its easier to get marks in F6 then in F8. Keep in mind as you said , That you will be re doing F7 , I dont think it would be a nice choice to take F7 along with F8.

The combination which I'd have taken in such a situation would be F6 , F7 and/or F8

This is just my opinion , It really depends on what you find interesting. Tax or Audit!?


Thanks again for visiting the forum and hope to see you soon again.
