Certification in Control Self-Assessment® (CCSA®) Exam Preparation Resources

CCSA Study Guide

The IIA publishes a CCSA study guide to assist candidates in preparing for the exam. It is available through the IIA Bookstore (powered by the Internal Audit Foundation). The guide provides a general overview of the topics that will be covered in the exam. However, it is critical that candidates perform additional study in areas where their experience or background dictates the need for additional review. A list of reference materials is included in the study guide to provide additional resources to supplement your studies.

Other Study Guides

The IIA Bookstore also offers several general study guides to assist candidates in preparing for the CCSA exam. Candidates may use the exam content outline in conjunction with this or other books on CSA and related topics.
