Overview

The Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) is an online CIA Exam Review course, which utilizes an adaptive learning platform that focuses your study on your weaker areas and reduces your overall study time. After the Assessment Phase to identify areas of weakness, you will be able to use our reporting features to concentrate additional learning on specific areas of the textbook. The Adaptive Study feature of the course automatically selects questions for you to study based on previous scoring history and IIA Category Weighting.

The CIA review course begins with the IIA's Global Internal Audit Standards™ and aspects of mandatory guidance under the IPPF®. It also focuses on managing an internal audit engagement and culminates with concepts related to internal audit function operations, including governance, risk management, control, and technology. Upon completion of the study of each exam part of the course, you will be prepared to sit for and pass that part of the Certified Internal Auditor® examination.
