Description

We are glad to bring you a preparation course for the Part 2 of the Institute of Internal Auditor’s (IIA) Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) certification.

You can start with any part of the CIA, and starting with the CIA Part 2 will give you the knowledge and tools necessary to perform, supervise and eventually manage internal audits.

This course aims to decrease the time you need to prepare for the exam. It includes instructor support for your questions.

It will review the key notions necessary for the exam and includes practice questions in each section and tips on exam strategy.

The course will help you learn how to manage an internal audit function, from knowing how to create a risk-based internal audit plan to managing the administration of an internal audit department.

You will know how to perform internal audit, starting from how to plan them, to how to perform and report on engagement results.

You will learn tricky concepts such as to process for the acceptance of risks, how to perform risk-assessments and how to evaluate information.

Most importantly, it aims to help you ‘think’ like an internal auditor, which I find is essential for scoring highly on the exam as well as being a great internal auditor.
