Description

Welcome to this exam preparation course for the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), a certification from the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).

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

I have taught internal audit courses in person to hundreds of internal auditors and other interested professionals and I would finally like to share this with you as well online. The course covers all areas in which you need to be proficient through 82 lectures.

This course has helped many people improve their chances at the CIA, from global Chief Audit Executives to interested students: this course is suited for anyone with an interest in internal audit.

It will help you understand the role that internal audit functions play in an organization and the principles and standards of the profession. It will help you know how to apply key concepts such as independence and objectivity. You will learn how to keep in good standing by knowing how to follow the code of ethics and how to show due professional care and proficiency.

If you manage an internal audit team or want to be ready for when you do, it will help you know whether your reporting lines are appropriate and how to improve your department through quality assurance. You will learn about the essential areas of governance, risk management and internal controls where auditors put much of their work effort. Finally, you will better know how to react if you suspect fraud within your organization.

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.
