Most risk advisory staff are just getting the CISA instead of the CPA nowadays. Takes like a couple weeks max of studying to pass is what I've heard

like

I spent a couple months studying since I didn't have an IT background. I would say that although it was easier than the CPA it is still a tricky exam. The wording of questions can be tough and I thought that a lot of the questions had more than one answer and you needed to know which one was "best"

Yes, that's all I used and passed the exam

How many days/ week you prepared? How many times did you do database questions? Just nervous with all the details in the book

I didn't have much time to study so I spent about 5 hours a week max and studied for about 1.5 months. I went over the database twice. The main factor is to think like ISACA when answering the questions, not how your firm tackle the scenario

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
