A current guide to CIA Part 2, including the 2025 syllabus domains, 100-question format, 120-minute timing, Pearson VUE scheduling, and engagement-focused study priorities.
Part 2 tests how internal auditors plan, perform, document, supervise, and communicate engagement work. Preparation should connect risk assessment, evidence quality, analytics, workpapers, findings, and stakeholder communication to timed multiple-choice decisions.
Use these points before building a Part 2 study schedule or scheduling the Pearson VUE appointment.
The current Part 2 syllabus is Internal Audit Engagement.
CIA Part 2 has 100 multiple-choice questions and a 120-minute time limit.
Engagement Planning is weighted at 50% of the Part 2 syllabus.
Information Gathering, Analysis, and Evaluation is 40%, and Engagement Supervision and Communication is 10%.
Candidates register through The IIA CCMS and schedule approved exam appointments at Pearson VUE test centers.
Preparation should emphasize applying audit methodology to planning, evidence, analytics, workpapers, findings, and stakeholder communication.
Half of Part 2 is engagement planning. Candidates should be able to determine objectives and scope, evaluate criteria, assess key risks and controls, select audit approaches, build work programs, and estimate resources and skills.
The 40% information-gathering domain covers interviews, observations, walk-throughs, documents, data analysis, evidence relevance, sufficiency, reliability, analytical review, process mapping, workpapers, and engagement conclusions.
The syllabus includes cybersecurity risks, IT controls, data privacy, business continuity, disaster recovery, finance and accounting concepts, supply chain, procurement, compliance, third-party processes, ERP systems, and governance, risk, and compliance systems.
The supervision and communication domain is smaller but still important. Prepare for questions about supervision through planning, reviewing workpapers, evaluating performance, communication methods, stakeholder selection, and escalation.
