Wiki Where to start...?

I have been auditing at my place of employment for about a year now and really enjoy it. I consider myself a beginner due to only auditing one provider (sometimes more) a month(sometimes not every month) anywhere between 10-40 notes (it is very inconsistent) and would like to expand my skills/knowledge in auditing. I have read the 95 and 97 guidelines but wanted to know what other resources I can read that will help me get a better understanding of auditing (how to's, rules, guidelines etc..). I do understand that there is no manual that can show me every scenario or what I can and cannot do in terms of auditing( I wish there was!) . The AAPC only has the prep exam for auditing but I would like to get more information before I go down this road.

Can anyone tell me where/how they started auditing?

All information will be appreciated!
