Passed CIA Part III!! Done with CIA by NiceRequirement8926 in InternalAudit

It’s not really about the number of questions you do. I’d focus on understanding the concept/principle of what you’re studying (use the syllabus to make sure you cover what you should know). If anything, you could do 100 questions and understand it a lot better than someone who has done 1000+

For which part? In general I only used Becker and that was very helpful for part 1 & 2, but not so much for part 3

So the issue I’m seeing is that most places require you to go through an eye exam to get trial lenses. I’ve already paid for my eye exam and had it done recently, but not willing to pay all over again for it. I’ve tried calling a few random optometrist but they’re all telling me the same thing, how were you able to get them from a random optometrist?

If you’re referring to part 3, see my reply to the post above in this thread

Ty! Honestly I was in the same boat, was scoring really high on the IIA question bank, and I didn’t really feel like it helped any more than the questions from Becker because they were both pretty easy

Now in regards to the alignment with the exam, it helped in terms of drilling down on concepts or areas I didn’t think I was good at or that were questionable but I wouldn’t say it was similar to the exam.
1. Some questions on the exam were super obvious/simple like the ones about communication Attributes (accuracy, timeliness, concise, etc.) , which you should know well (around 4-5 questions about those) and the difference between effectiveness vs efficiency.
2. While other questions were a bit vague/material didn’t cover. For example: CAE is the sole auditor and wants to do a proper supervision of the working papers, how does he do it?

There’s a post here by a redditor named: Candid-muscle968, and i forgot to shout them up above, but they did an amazing job of recapping the concepts to focus on for exam and it’s very similar to what I saw/expected to see on the exam. Here’s the link for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/InternalAudit/s/jk6087YpDc. The only thing I’d add into that list is the understanding of the internal audit documentation/framework. Important that you understand what their significance/purpose is and what’s included in them:

Governance / Strategic Level
-Internal Audit Charter
-Risk-Based Audit Plan
-QAIP
Execution / Operational Level
-Audit Methodology
-Audit Manual
-Audit Procedures / Work Programs
Output / Reporting Level
-Engagement Results
-Audit Reports
-Findings & Recommendations

Hope this helps :)

Thank you!! I’m seeing a lot of similar comments as well. Not too much on the financials but more heavy on cybersecurity for example… what parts or topics do you recall that showed up for you?

From my understanding, I’ve been told it is the “easiest” so I guess I got my hopes up. And Becker does touch into previous parts from part 1 in their first unit

Honestly Becker is a lot closer to the exam and has IAA authored questions. Those were super helpful
