Overview

Certified Internal Auditor Part 2 preparation with Musa Shaikh

The Certified Internal Auditor Part 2 course with Musa Shaikh focuses on internal audit engagements. Learn to set objectives, assess risk, gather evidence and develop conclusions. The 10 lectures also cover analytics, workpapers, supervision and communication. Practice and mock examinations help you apply these ideas in revision.

Table of contents

Certified Internal Auditor Part 2 skills

First, define what an engagement will examine and why. Next, assess the risks and controls within that scope. Then, choose procedures that can provide useful evidence. In addition, evaluate the evidence before drawing conclusions. Finally, document the work so another auditor can follow your reasoning.

The CIA Part 2 course with Musa Shaikh connects planning with fieldwork. For example, a test should answer a clear audit question. Therefore, consider what evidence you need before choosing a sample or an analytical method. Review whether the information is reliable and sufficient for the conclusion you want to reach.

A practical audit evidence example

Imagine an inventory audit where the stock records differ from a physical count. First, confirm the count date and the records used. Next, examine receipts, dispatches and adjustments around that date. Then, test whether timing explains the difference. In addition, consider whether the process has a control weakness.

A single unexplained difference may need more work before you form a wider conclusion. Therefore, document what you tested and the limits of the evidence. Compare the observed process with the agreed criteria. Finally, explain the finding, its possible cause and its effect using facts you can support.

Study prompt: What further evidence would help distinguish a timing difference from a control failure?

Build an engagement-focused revision routine

The programme includes 2 practice sessions and 3 mock examinations. First, read the scenario and identify the engagement stage. Next, choose a response that fits its objective and evidence. Then, review the answer explanation. In addition, note why other responses are less suitable. Finally, use mock results to focus your remaining study.

CIA Part 2 with Musa Shaikh

CIA Part 2 with Musa Shaikh
Mock Examination (3 Mock Examinations)

The 3 mock examinations assess knowledge, engagement judgement and use of time. First, complete the questions under timed conditions. Next, review gaps in your understanding and methods. Finally, use the results to plan focused CIA Part 2 revision.

Berkeley's Performance Standards

Berkeley reviews its CIA Part 2 teaching and study support. First, consider the clarity of explanations and the instructor's experience. Next, assess how discussions, engagement cases, videos and mock exams support learning. In addition, review class interaction and participant feedback.

For example, weak evidence-evaluation answers can identify a topic for further study. Therefore, use practice results and feedback to guide revision.

What are the Exam Information?

CIA Part 2 with Musa Shaikh

The Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) Part 2 – Internal Audit Engagement examination is computer-based and consists entirely of multiple-choice questions. The Institute of Internal Auditors confirms that Part 2 consists of 100 questions with 120 minutes of testing time.

Exam Dates

Certified Internal Auditor examinations are generally available throughout the year, subject to registration and Pearson VUE testing-centre availability. Once an examination registration is purchased, candidates generally have 180 days to schedule and sit the examination subject to their overall certification-program expiry date. 

Passing Criteria

Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examinations use a scaled scoring system, with candidates requiring a minimum score of 600 out of 750 to pass. However, the scaled score should not be interpreted as a simple percentage of correct answers, as the final result reflects the examination’s scoring methodology.

Important 2026 Syllabus Note

The program follows the current 2025 Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) Part 2 syllabus, aligned with the Global Internal Audit Standards. For Arabic-language candidates, The Institute of Internal Auditors states that the Arabic examination remains on the previous syllabus until 27 December 2026, before transitioning to the revised syllabus on 28 December 2026.
