Study the Syllabus & Sit for the Test

The comprehensive exam covers current internal auditing practices; internal audit issues, risks, and controls; and five Standards-focused syllabus domains. Interactive study materials, which are included in the application fee, help ensure candidates are comfortable with their knowledge when they sit for the 2-hour, 100-multiple-choice-question exam.

At present, both onsite and online testing are available. Online testing employs “live proctoring,” which means the candidate is monitored online during the test duration, typically with the help of a webcam, mic, and access to the screen of the candidate.

Onsite testing is available at the many Pearson VUE test centers around the world.

Timeline

Candidates will have two years to finish the Internal Audit Practitioner program from the date they are approved into the program.
