SEFAZ-SP Auditor Fiscal (AFRE) study plan

SEFAZ-SP Auditor Fiscal (AFRE) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

State Tax Legislation (ICMS, IPVA, ITCMD and related) & Tax and Commercial Law

  • Map the ICMS constitutional core (CF/88 arts. 155-156 and LC 87/1996) into a one-page rule sheet covering taxable events, taxpayer categories, and territorial and temporal incidence rules.

  • Solve 25 original-style questions on ICMS incidence and taxpayer classification, logging every error with the statutory article that resolves it.

  • Distinguish ICMS from IPVA and ITCMD incidence triggers by building a three-column comparison table with constitutional and statutory citations.

  • Read LC 87/1996 arts. 1-12 actively, converting each rule into a conditional 'if-tax-then-consequence' statement.

Your checkpoint

A dated ICMS incidence cheat sheet (maximum two pages) plus an error log of 25 solved questions with article-level corrections.

Week 2

State Tax Legislation (ICMS, IPVA, ITCMD and related) & Accounting and Public Accounting

  • Work through ICMS non-incidence, exemption, and benefit rules (LC 87/1996 arts. 2-5 and state law basics) and classify ten hypothetical operations as taxable, exempt, or non-taxable with justification.

  • Compute ICMS credit and debit chains across a four-stage production chain, including credit transfer and write-off rules.

  • Reconcile the ICMS calculation with the accounting entries for tax on sales and purchases, recording the journal entries for each stage.

  • Draft a one-page note distinguishing ICMS-ST (substitution) liability from ordinary ICMS liability, citing the applicable articles.

Your checkpoint

A solved four-stage ICMS chain exercise showing tax due at each stage plus the matching accounting journal entries.

Week 3

State Tax Legislation (ICMS, IPVA, ITCMD and related) & Tax Auditing and Fiscal Inspection

  • Compile the full set of ICMS tax obligations (main obligation, accessory obligations, and the state tax document regime) into a compliance checklist an auditor would use in the field.

  • Apply fiscal inspection procedure steps to a simulated taxpayer case: initiate the audit, request documents, and formalize findings in a draft inspection report.

  • Identify the penalties and infraction classifications applicable to a missing accessory obligation, citing the state rule framework.

  • Solve 20 questions on fiscal inspection procedure and document the reasoning chain for each answer.

Your checkpoint

A simulated inspection report (one to two pages) covering findings, cited rules, and proposed penalties for a fictitious taxpayer.

Week 4

State Tax Legislation (ICMS, IPVA, ITCMD and related) & Tax Auditing and Fiscal Inspection & Tax and Commercial Law

  • Consolidate IPVA and ITCMD rules (incidence, base, rates, and taxpayer) into the existing comparison table and verify it against constitutional text.

  • Explain the relationship between tax law and commercial law for tax purposes: obligations of merchants, bookkeeping duties, and the effect of company acts on tax liability.

  • Complete a timed 40-question mixed set on Domains 3, 4, and 5 and classify each error as knowledge gap, rule misapplication, or reading error.

  • Re-teach the three weakest rules from the error log in writing, in your own words, without consulting the source.

Your checkpoint

A timed 40-question mock result with an error taxonomy table and a written re-teach of the three weakest rules.

Week 5

Accounting and Public Accounting & Economics and Public Finance

  • Build a flowchart linking the accounting cycle (recognition, measurement, disclosure) to the public-sector budget cycle (elaboration, approval, execution, control).

  • Apply the public accounting regimes (patrimonial, budgetary, and compensatory) to three sample transactions and record the resulting entries.

  • Compute the primary public finance indicators (primary result, nominal result, and net debt) from a supplied data set and interpret each in one sentence.

  • Explain the economic functions of government (allocation, distribution, and stabilization) using one concrete Brazilian policy example each.

Your checkpoint

A one-page flowchart plus three fully journalized public-sector transactions and a computed fiscal indicator set with interpretation.

Week 6

Portuguese Language and Text Interpretation & Logic, Statistics and Data Analysis

  • Interpret three full-length texts under time pressure, producing an answer key with the textual evidence (line or phrase) that supports each answer.

  • Distinguish denotation from connotation, and inference from literal statement, across ten practice items with written justification.

  • Master textual cohesion and coherence devices (reference, substitution, connectors) by rewriting five paragraphs while preserving meaning.

  • Solve 15 logic and statistics items on propositional logic, sets, and descriptive statistics, recording the formula or rule used for each.

Your checkpoint

A text-interpretation answer key with cited textual evidence for every item, plus a formula sheet for the logic and statistics items solved.

Week 7

Logic, Statistics and Data Analysis & Administrative Law and Public Administration

  • Apply the core administrative law principles (legality, impersonality, publicity, efficiency, and morality) to five hypothetical administrative acts and judge validity.

  • Analyze the administrative act attributes (presumption of legitimacy, enforceability, and self-execution) in a written case note.

  • Solve 15 statistics and data-analysis problems involving probability, sampling, and correlation, showing the calculation steps.

  • Summarize the rules on administrative improbity, bidding, and public contracts in a structured outline with article references.

Your checkpoint

A case note on five administrative acts with validity judgments, plus a solved statistics problem set with visible calculations.

Week 8

State Tax Legislation (ICMS, IPVA, ITCMD and related) & Tax Auditing and Fiscal Inspection & Accounting and Public Accounting & Tax and Commercial Law

  • Take a full-length timed simulation weighted by domain percentage and score each domain separately.

  • Re-audit the entire eight-week error log and resolve every unresolved item, marking any rule still uncertain for review.

  • Produce a final condensed review sheet (maximum three pages) covering the highest-weight rules in Domains 2, 3, 4, and 5.

  • Write a post-mortem identifying the three highest-yield weaknesses and the specific corrective action for each.

Your checkpoint

A scored full simulation with per-domain breakdown, a three-page final review sheet, and a written post-mortem with corrective actions.

Milestones

Week 4: Score at least 60% on the timed 40-question mixed set for Domains 3, 4, and 5, with no more than three errors classified as rule misapplication.

Week 6: Complete the timed text-interpretation set with cited evidence for every answer and correctly justify at least 70% of items.

Week 8: Score at least 65% overall on the weighted full simulation, with Domains 4 and 5 each at or above 60% and no unresolved items remaining in the error log.
