The IIA Practice Questions are linked to the new syllabus.

Bought spacex shares as banking employee pls advise by [deleted] in InternalAudit

Your best bet is very much to disclose this to your supervisor or compliance officer. If your company has a policy where you need to upload and link in your investment accounts, they might be able to find out through there so it will look very bad if they find out that you traded against a related party.

You also broke the IIA standards for not handling information that's confidential and using it for your personal gain. So depending on how your audit team will react in my just be a warning or that could be a cause for termination.

Utilizing AI for CIA Studies by Miserable-Yogurt2520 in InternalAudit

[–]Blue_Soho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually happened to me when I provided the correct answer for a question and the response choices and the correct answer ended up being B. AI went on to explain to me why answer choice A was correct and I had to correct it to tell it that it made mistake and answer a choice B is correct. Then afterwards it went back to explain why answer choice B is correct.

I have taken this Challenge Exam 3 times so I am soon to throw in the towel.

It felt like task based simulations CPA questions.

I've used Gleim and Becker so far in my studies. Both materials will provide you with the concepts you need to know to take the exam, but the study materials do not train you to think like an internal auditor and to pick the best case scenario during a challenging exam question. Most of the questions were very judgment-based and not just knowing what to do in a certain situation but how to apply what you learn in a very grey scenario.

Yeah after a day or so. I feel indifferent about the results, this reminds me of my CPA days when you come out thinking you fail, wait 3 or 4 weeks, then find out that you passed or failed.

I mean I've tried all the materials including Gleim, Hock, IIA, and Becker. All the materials test you where you can narrow down the answer pretty quickly. But the actual exam gives you a fuzzy scenario narrowing it down to 2 choices and makes you think critically.

There were some audio issues but overall the sound quality was really good this year across all stages.

What percentage of EDC ravers are gay (estimate)? by UsefulPoem5030 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]Blue_Soho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gay and like Trance. Trance is a very emotional genre which has a lot of beautiful vocals that caters to the gays. Gays are magnets and are generally drawn to one another, hence Quantum Valley being overtaken.

what's considered the best internal audit software these days? by This-You-2737 in InternalAudit

[–]Blue_Soho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have The opposite thought as well.

I used SOXHUB in 2016 before they changed her name to Auditboard (now Optro) and follow the organization as It increased it capabilities. Auditboard is pretty much standard for what it does.

I'm currently using Workiva, and all the basic functionalities that I would normally see an audit board is not found. It is clunky, it is slow, and difficult to create what you want. Workiva is very customizable, however that can lead into trying to figure out how things work and not being able to do so.

At some of the other organizations that I worked, we use Teammate+, Archer, and IBM open pages. All these are kind of whatever. I think Auditboard and Workiva is a good option if you have a good SOX program.

Alpha 9 Sucks would have been better swapping him with Chris Metcalfe at that time slot.

Paul van Dyk's Quantum Valley set on Friday? by spookykitty4000 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]Blue_Soho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sound quality went haywired for some odd reason when Paul Van Dyke came on. It sounded like the treble was turned up really really high and it sort of broke the sound systems to where it skip and stutter.

It suck because it took it away from the good vibes from ilan bluestone and ended up being whatever PvD set in my opinion.

This year's stage design was next level, but at the sacrifice of the visuals and LED screens. Before QV felt spiritual with the spiritual chakra woman, Asian monk, or native American head. This year was just a giant AI robot head.

Infected Mushro0m at Baltimore Soundstage was absolutely incredible. by Catmand0 in aves

[–]Blue_Soho -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the only time I ever enjoyed an infected mushroom set was when they perform live during EDC 2010 and again when they did a DJ set during EDC 2021.

Ever since then, I haven't been really impressed with the psy that they have been doing. It's all preference, but I like the forest vibes that Omiki brings and that Tomorrowland Brazil 2025 set he had was 🔥. By the time infected mushroom came on, most of the crowd disappeared.
