By The IIA’s definition, the CIA is a “globally accepted certification for internal auditors” through which “individuals demonstrate their professionalism in the internal audit field.” Passing this exam validates and confirms your professional work experience and requires your complete dedication and determination as well as your mastery and understanding of current auditing practice. When you are studying for the CIA exam, you need to be confident that your study materials cover all 2019 exam content updates and current topics, including any new, testable standards or pronouncements.
2019 CIA Exam Content Updates
According to The IIA, “To ensure the material within all three parts of the CIA exam stays current and valid, the CIA underwent a global job analysis study to determine the knowledge, skills, and abilities most applicable to today’s internal audit practitioners. The study results indicated the need to revise the exam syllabi to reflect the evolution of the internal audit profession worldwide.” As a result, in 2019 the exam will be updated to cover all of the knowledge and skills that CIA candidates must demonstrate in order to be competent auditors, ensuring that candidates are on par with current global practice.
The exam has undergone balancing for clarity and uniformity, and duplication and overlap between exam sections has been minimized. But what exactly is changing? The IIA has provided a section-by-section overview of updates, summarized in the chart below, which compares the content in the current version of the CIA exam to the 2019 exam content.
