CIA Internal Auditor Exams All-in-one Study Guide 2013

The original CIA certification has 4 exam parts, which are: PART 1 – THE INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITY’S ROLE PART 2 – CONDUCTING THE INTERNAL AUDIT ENGAGEMENT PART 3 – BUSINESS ANALYSIS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PART 4 – BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SKILLS You want to know that starting from mid 2013 the CIA exam structure will be changed to a new 3-part format. HOWEVER, content-wise the new structure does not really have anything new. In fact, as said by IIA "the final change consists of a realignment of the exam content outline and question count for each part". My suggestion is that you go through ALL TOPICS before taking any of the individual exam modules. Do NOT study on a per module basis. Instead, treat all of them as a whole - this will guarantee that you don’t get tripped up when similar questions show up on different exam parts. And know the IPPF inside and out. Many correct answers come out from the IPPF. The International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) is the conceptual framework that organizes authoritative guidance promulgated by the IIA. You just need to memorize it. The entire content can be viewed online via the official location: http://www.theiia.org/guidance/standards-and-guidance/
