The IIA builds the CIA exam using a syllabus and publishes it for candidates and review providers to see. The syllabus communicates what will be on the exam, how the content coverage will be distributed, and at what level each concept will be tested. You can also find question counts and scoring weights here. Though the syllabus breaks down the content for each exam part into domains and topics, they are not specific enough to replace a CIA review course. Instead, use the CIA Exam Syllabus Opens in new window as a high-level guide to understanding the exam’s expectations of what an internal auditor needs to know to become certified.
The IIA provides free sample CIA exam questions and answers that will help you understand the types of questions you can expect to see on each exam part.
In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, The IIA has partnered with Pearson VUE to offer online testing for CIA exams. Pearson VUE offers a brief demonstration of their exam interface. It includes tools that will be available on the computer-based test. Online testing allows CIA candidates to take their exams in the safety of their own homes. Use the online demo to get comfortable with the interface before exam day!
Once you’ve learned all about the exam from these complimentary CIA materials, you’ll be ready to start studying with a review course.
