Comments
Despite this being my worst grade I give it high points because the lecturer, Duc Phan, puts in huge effort into the subject. Some key notes about it:

-It can often be a "wooly" - or qualitative subject. Combined with the massive amount of content, I would recommend grinding out a few questions here and there to iron out your knowledge.
-THERE IS A LOT OF CONTENT. Every weekly lecture has at least 60+ slides on it, and they are packed with information.
-As mentioned earlier, Duc puts a lot of effort into the subject and each week has a lot of supplementary learning materials.
-The group presentation isn't too difficult; students get to decide on which week they want to present (first come first served). I would recommend being the 2nd/3rd presenter so you can get it out of the way early (and stop coming to tutes), but you still can use the earlier presenters as a model.
-The individual assignment is deceptively hard. Try to find people to compare the assignment with. Make sure to cite your textbook and RTFQ.
-Do not be deceived by the easy first few weeks - from week 3/4 onwards, the subject becomes significantly harder and catches many off guard.

Textbook Recommendation
Gay and Simnett Auditing and Assurance Services in Australia 6e McGraw Hill - the group presentation is based on the questions/concepts/case studies within the book, so unfortunately you need it. Note that, in the first few tutes, students will be spreading around PDFs of it so make sure to be social.
