When you step into CIA Part 2, you're no longer just learning concepts—you're preparing for what real auditors do every day. The 2025 update to the CIA Part 2 syllabus isn’t just a refresh. It’s a reimagining of how internal auditors are trained, assessed, and certified.
This part of the exam centers on internal audit engagements, but now with more focus on practical thinking, risk-based planning, and professional communication. It goes beyond procedures and challenges you to make decisions, identify risks, and communicate results that drive change.

To navigate this successfully, you need clarity on the updated domains and how they’re weighted. Fortunately, there’s a comprehensive guide available that breaks it all down for you:
