Recently, through a grant from the Institute of Internal Auditors, the library received a number of books to update the internal auditing materials. A series of five books to help students review for the Certified Internal Auditor exam was part of materials received. These are the only review materials we have for this exam.
The five book set is the print equivalent of their online CIA Learning System, which is fee based.
However, the print books do not have the review quizzes that the online system contains. A student would need to pay for individual access for this material. More details are available at the IIA’s website. Individual student memberships are available for $50, which provides for discounts on purchases and registration for parts of the exam. An application must be made to sit for the exam, much like many other exams these days.
There is not a password that can be used with the print resources.
One may download for free on the IIA homepage the Certification Candidate Handbook and complete the My CIA Review Plan for free, which suggests a study schedule. Accessing the online quizzes requires individual access which must be purchased. This is explained on the inside pages of each book.
The books are in reserve. The overall title of the series is the IIA’s CIA Learning System

While these books are designed to help candidates prepare for the internal auditor exam, they can be helpful in other ways, such as summarizing key points and references to materials such as Sawyer’s Internal Auditing,(a book available in reference) or an exhibit such as Audit Cycle Red Flags (Part 2-155).
Please let me know if you have any questions. The accounting professors who teach internal auditing and Mike Waldman and his staff helped in getting the materials from the IIA.
