Additional Posts in Risk Assurance
Hello - hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm looking into risk assurance opportunities at Meta, especially Application Manager, Controls (min 5 YOE) and Manager, Compliance (min 12 YOE). I am a Senior Manager with 9 years of IT risks assurance experience. Does anyone have any thought on which position I should apply? If anyone currently at Meta could share your experience, that would also help. If anyone is open to providing referrals, I could provide my background. Facebook (Meta)

You can get by with just the database QAE, especially if you have prior experience doing IT audits. One caveat is that you should read all the explanations on why choices are wrong and why the answer is correct. Try your best to NOT memorize them or you will fail when it comes to the real exam. Everyone learns differently so you might have the read books if you aren't improving enough with just the database QAE.
A huge component of the CISA exam is understanding the perspective ISACA wants you to have. The "ISACA" answer is always right even if real world experience says it is wrong.
Reference: Cleared the CISA with zero IT audit experience. Spent about 10-15 studying outside material (Hemang Doshi and his website ciaexamstudy.com + Google/YouTube) and 25 hours on database QAE.
I forgot to include one of the units at the bottom. It should say 10-15 hours of studying outside material and 25 hours of database QAE.
Just database and the book when I didn't know the answer to the database
How long did you study for the exam?
I wouldn’t even bother buying the book. I opened it once. The explanations in the database are pretty thorough and you can google anything you still don’t understand.
The Q&A database is really all you need. I did some questions every day for a few weeks before the exam, and that was even too much studying
I want to prepare for CISA exam as well. Can someone share the link to the Q&A database? Thanks
Thanks P1
The ISACA database was extremely helpful. I took the practice exams/ studied 3 weeks prior and will say it was a great simulator of the exam itself.
CISA is simple study the manual twice, and you’d be good to go;) I did it while still in Senior year I was like 21
