Sample Questions
Question 1
Easy
Which statement best describes an integrated internal audit engagement?
Solution
A is correct. An integrated approach plans and executes one engagement that examines a process across its financial, operational, compliance, and technology dimensions, usually with a team blending those competencies. The Global Internal Audit Standards expect the internal audit function's methodologies to define such approaches (Standard 9.3), and the auditor in charge selects the approach when setting engagement objectives and scope (Standard 13.3). Integration matters because risks in a single process rarely respect discipline boundaries, so a combined view produces one conclusion supported by evidence from each dimension.
Question 2
Medium
An engagement on vendor onboarding is complete. Who should receive the final engagement communication, according to IIA guidance?
Solution
A is correct. The chief audit executive is responsible for communicating engagement results to parties who can ensure the results are given due consideration, which typically includes the client responsible for corrective action plus senior management and the board as warranted by significance. Distribution is a judgment about who can act on and oversee remediation, not a fixed list. Standard 15.1 (Final Engagement Communication) and Standard 11.3 govern this determination.
Question 3
Hard
A digital banking platform is being built in short releases, and control design keeps changing. Which engagement approach fits best?
Solution
C is correct. Agile auditing breaks the engagement into short, time-boxed sprints with frequent stakeholder feedback and incremental communication of results. Where control design is still evolving across successive releases, this approach keeps the engagement scope aligned with the current state of the platform and delivers observations while they can still influence design, which a single end-loaded fieldwork phase cannot do.
What Accounting & Tax candidates are saying
“I practised the Lease questions subtopic by subtopic in Area 3F, and it was honestly a great experience. Learning felt much easier, faster, and more organised. It was especially helpful when I got a question wrong, because I could immediately connect the mistake to the exact concept.”
“I found FreeFellow on an accounting forum on Reddit, and it literally felt like a gift from God when I heard it was free. Like, actually free. I passed my EA exam with flying colors, and I'm definitely using the site for my CFP. Thanks again, Jeff!”
“I absolutely loved the website! The explanations were so detailed, and they helped me a lot. Navigation is also amazing. For people who don't want to or can't pay for preparation, this self-study source is an amazing thing.”
