It’s one study manual and one test that aligns with a lot of audit concepts vs 4 manuals and 4 tests for the cpa exam. I studied in 6 weeks and passed with no IT background.

It's child's play compared to CPA

Harder than a CFE, easier than a CPA/CFA

If you’ve taken AUD for the CPA then it will be similar to that. You just have to have some IT knowledge and know how ISACA asks questions. Also, it would be good to know AAA in regards to security.
