Certified Internal Auditor Exam Part 1 Secrets Study Guide: CIA Test Review for the Certified Internal Auditor Exam

Good reference book for my CIA part 1 exam!!

This book is missing a practice test though. They should make sample practice tests to the back. Otherwise, it's good.

Very comprehensive and student friendly, making it seem a lot easier to pass the exam.

Patty Smyth never fails to disappoint. She has an incredibly beautiful voice and her voice is at its best here. You will not be disappointed with this music. ENJOY!

Easy to understand good print good paper good resource to study

The guide is helpful indeed.

Not very helpful. Does not have any pertinent information.

This book contains 118 pages of auditing content. The remaining pages are test taking tips and strategies.The auditing topics and content in this book align with the exam syllabus for the CIA exam Part 1. However, the content seems heavily summarized and there isn't a flow from paragraph to paragraph. This makes getting a full picture difficult. The book does a good job mixing up how the data is presented, such as bullet points, paragraphs, lists, and formula explanations. One minor annoyance is that there are spelling and grammatical errors every couple of pages.The content seems to be there, but I would use this book as a supplemental study guide and not as the only means of preparation for the CIA exam Part 1.

After reading it and making notes, I start reviewing the IIA practice exam questions, and I can say that except for the first sub-part (Independence of the Audit Department), the whole content of the book has absolutely no relevance for the questions. It is therefore the surest method to waste your time and miserably fail at the exam.What they did it copy from the standard syllabus (which is full of irrelevant theory), paste it and add their little "studying tips" which they drafted for all types of exam.So after having wasting my time and money, I moved to Gleim which gives me factual content and plenty of studying practice.Well, you get what you paid for.... although here, you still pay £ 52 and get nothing in exchange.
