3Review the Ley de Disciplina Financiera balance rules and the current Ley de Fiscalización y Rendición de Cuentas de la Federación procedures and deadlines.
4Study the Sistema Nacional de Fiscalización standards alongside the NIA: risk assessment, internal control (Marco Integrado de Control Interno), tests of controls versus substantive procedures, and opinion types.
5Since the exam is open-book, organize your printed references with tabs so you can find articles and rules quickly.
