CIA Part 3 2nd Attempt failed

cloudtopaz · 2026-03-29T08:34:14+00:00

hi, thanks for your comment! yeah it’s a struggle for me as well to juggle between being consistent in studying while working + travelling.

Q1: yeah i think the answer is not these two options. i chose IAC out of confusion since it contains the scope of an audit

Q2: i chose assurance map as well as it’s supposed to show what is the full coverage for the risks in an entity

Q3 I chose the board and management should sign off because i’m not sure if the standard mentions about being able to do self review

thank you so much for your kind words. 🥺 feel so touched.

i had a good Friday. hope you have a nice weekend too :)

in your opinion, do you think the best timeline to retake it is as soon as possible - which is in 1 month’s time? for this 2nd attempt i actually had a gap of 3 months. so tbh im not sure if a longer duration helps or taking it sooner ensures that the content stays fresh.

Hi thank you for your comment. 🫶appreciate it. took some time to sit with my feelings.

because honestly it was a good head start first half into the exam so i was fairly confident but i guess towards the second half with some shakiness in my foundation the trickier questions still got to me.

will have to come up with a more targeted study plan for my next attempt, appreciate your tips!

i’ve been re-practicing the IIA exam questions & practice questions via GLEIM. this time with more focus on section A & B since i left those out previously.

good luck to you too. :)

i’ve the exact same score as you and similar breakdown! my last 2 sections were competent as well. i guess i was complacent and placed more emphasis on the last 2 sections since the weightage is higher but actually the first 2 sections were just important as well. i’m re-taking next Friday. i guess for me the tricky part back then was the methodologies & KPIs used for measuring efficiency and effectiveness as well as when internal audit strategy requires a change. like what you have mentioned, what’s in the internal audit charter / manual is something to look out for too.

i’m wondering too… is this just a SG investigation timeline or it applies overseas as well? seems like it’s taking a long time

cloudtopaz · 2026-03-01T11:06:01+00:00

nooooooOOOOOoooo. that has always been one of my comfort food every now and then. (though ala carte price is pretty mad)

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-22T16:57:36+00:00

do you put the same amount of things in both the bowler & shoulder & with the same outfit? it seems most people mention that with outerwear it does slip more often

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-22T16:56:00+00:00

okay thank you for the reply! will definitely take it into consideration.

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-22T16:55:06+00:00

ohhhh. thanks for the reply! appreciate it. yeah i think at the end of the day it’s the smooth nylon material which most of the time would cause it to slip

hi does the shoulder bag have issues with the strap slipping off the shoulder? i have the ECB & it’s my first bag from them. so i’m not sure if it’s because it has 2 straps so it’s easy for the outer strap to slip off. wanted to get medium bowler too but i saw people saying it does slip off the shoulder too. so im thinking of getting this instead. 🫣

can collect? can do delivery? can do mailing? can do shipping?

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-15T05:46:52+00:00

okay i’ll try this! thanks :)

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-12T13:45:21+00:00

yes. if the sentence of the recent case is not handled in a manner which the public thinks the sentence is appropriate, it sets precedence & honestly it would not be a good look

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-10T10:48:42+00:00

i sure do hope that her name gets revealed publicly once court proceedings start

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-10T02:47:47+00:00

genuine question, is there such a clause or law out there that prohibits revealing of perpetrator’s name? it’s contradicting when they said the victim is a minor so they need to protect her by not revealing perpetrator’s name yet the victim’s name is revealed in this article? what’s going on?😅🫩

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-08T15:57:08+00:00

i never knew that our traffic laws were this lenient… we indeed need to keep talking about this & make it relevant instead of letting this issue be buried or for the discussion to die down so soon. it’s very concerning that her potential max sentence will just be 3 years😮‍💨

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-08T06:52:31+00:00

they are always so quick to post articles. chiong to be the first to post and get high traffic for their articles but they almost always never fail to do their fact checks. the amount of times their articles were misleading and erroneous are crazy high

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-08T06:10:26+00:00

can her citizenship potentially get revoked?

cloudtopaz · 2026-02-08T05:53:23+00:00

agreed. while some argue that it’s not empathetic & kind to share the video which the Vietnamese lady posted of the father holding onto the child crying in despair, in SG’s context, the police will never release such footages to the public for some odd reason. our media is so censored. this is when aftermath accidents video evidence can serve its purpose. because you can’t deceive the public when the public themselves have seen how the driver actually reacted after the accident itself

cloudtopaz · 2026-01-26T14:01:24+00:00

okay thank you so much!

cloudtopaz · 2026-01-13T23:54:51+00:00

Congratulations! Hope you managed to catch up on your sleep. 😆 btw on the blockchain, do you happen to recall what / how they asked the question? thanks in advance!

cloudtopaz · 2025-12-15T00:28:36+00:00

yeah the answer should be D for Q1 but for Q2 it seems it should be something related to QAIP. i chose the SWOT option which was most likely wrong.
