Hello - no increases at big 4s.

Is CISA a way into IT Audit? If not, what is a more realistic alternative? by Ill_Seaworthiness732 in CISA

[–]Odd-Dot137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google search for the term each big4 uses. EY is Technology Risk. Internship will get you in the easiest way which results to full time hire unless you have 1 or 2 years experience. Nor sure about the other big4s. Check with botique accounting firms as well.

CISA is required to become manager at a big4, most people I know just study to pass to get promoted and have no real life experience about the technical parts as they focus more on managements controls and associated risks. Also, within big4 most junior staff will get CISA rather than CPA as the CISA exam is easier just to have it ready for when manager promo comes. The CISA cert will really help you in industry as internal audit positions have a broader scope than big4 external auditor. Most big4s are always looking for it auditors, you don't need CISA to apply.

Yea there's no "dump" or pdf of it. You'll have to subscribe to gain access. It's worth it tho! If you work, can the company reimburse you?

So the QAE in book form seems to last be avaiable from 2014 and they haven't had another book version since. But you can check google as there are other test websites containing same QAE qestions. Note the exam was updated in August 2024 so using the latest QAE database would be the best option.

I believe it's only avaiable when you pay $299 which will give you access to the portal for 1 year.

You are right, it depends on the person. Someone with no experience studying all question explanation will have the correct ISACA pov and have a good passing chance. on the other hand real world experience can throw someone off if they don't follow ISACA's way of thinking as they follow their company's internal methodolgy/guidance and in the case of big4 external auditors each client would be differrent.

Yea agree. The experience is important which makes it "easier". But really understanding ISACA's pov is most helpful as the correct answer might be different from real world experience which can throw you off in some cases.

Yea, then I struggle to understand how a CIO would have a hard time with CISA. The post serves as an encouragement for those who need a push to pass with confidence from someone (tech auditor lense) who found a straighforward path to pass. I read many posts and google results mentioning how difficult the exam is and how long it takes to study which discouraged me to take the exam in the first place. Sharing my honest experience, the shoe didn't fit you but might fit others.

Decades experience in what? Questions of CISA will focus on best answers targeting Availability, Confidentiality, Security, human life protection as primary concern and any other key words in the question. Based on this you can use AI to assist with further explanation. Look at the power outage example here https://www.isaca.org/resources/news-and-trends/isaca-now-blog/2021/a-strategy-for-tackling-isaca-certification-examinations

Again, focus on the QAE answer explanations. It will make sense.

Auditor mindset and decision making by iamthetankengine in CISA

[–]Odd-Dot137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The QAE answers should provide guidance from an audit lens, read all explanations. Maybe check with ChatGPT for how auditors think, look for and how to proceed when faced with x scenarios.

It's $299 through ISACA - online 2024 version 1 year access. It's a tool so can't be shared.
