edited 10:25AM in AAT student discussion
I am torn between chosing one of the following two units:

OCMC - Operating a Cash Management and Credit Control System
IAP2 - Implementing Auditing Procedures

And was hoping that people could advise me on if you liked these units, which you preferred and why to help aid me in my decision making. I think I'm leaning slightly more towards the Auditing unit.

Thanks for your help!

    Hi Sam

    I did Implementing Auditing Procedures earlier in the year. It was ok, the skills test wasn't too difficult. I am about to start the Cash management unit so I'll let you know how it goes.

    Best of luck with your studies.

    Hi Sam

    I have just completed the Cash Management unit, and it is quite straight forward - with no hidden nasties.

    Best of luck

    I know there are many students who are on the AAT to pass rather than to gain the knowledge, but there are more and more who will do more than the minimum because they value the knowledge.
    It may be worth thinking about doing both.
    See how your college responds, there may be a supplementary fee, but your job prospects could be enhanced.

    I have just done both and enjoyed cash management more than audit,though both are worth doing.

    Also taking the Personal Tax exam in June as well, so am pleased that I have got these two out of the way before Christmas

    Hi Sam,
    I have just completed OCM and it is very interesting. My tutor was very good. I really enjoyed going to the classes. It is also a very useful subject. I would recommend it to anyone. The skills test is also quite straight forward. I am sure you'll enjoy it. I haven't done the Audit Unit so cannot comment on it. I am starting Personal Tax unit instead in January. I will probably think about doing Business Tax later on. As Sandy said earlier that it would be good for your CV and If you want to go on to ACCA etc, it would be an advantage. Whatver choice you make, Good Luck and let us know how you get on.

    Hi Sam
    I think you should go for both! . . . if you have got enough time, it's a good opportunity to study while you can
    good luck

    Hi Sam

    I would do both you can never have too much knowledge. If I had had the time to study this is what I would have done, however this was not to be so I chose Cash Management credit control and enjoyed it and the skills test was straight forward. I also found it good for revising as some bugeting is used as are the ratios.

    Good Luck whatever you decide to do.
    Regards
    Michelle
