Confused.......2007-04-10
I purchased the series to assist in preparation for the upcoming CIA examinations and must admit the books are very confusing. Ideas are presented in a very disjointed manner and I am unable to determine the main trend or ideas shared after having read a couple of pages.
There is also information overload as the ideas do not flow naturally from one to the other, and it takes along time to complete one chapter.
The content is good but the explainations are not very clear as to how they all fit together.
Wiley CIA Exam Review.......2007-03-16
This is an excellent series for assisting in obtaining my CIA. The number of self exam questions really helps in preparing and understanding the concepts. This is a better product then the GLEIM books
Book Description
The CIA exam tests a candidate's knowledge of current internal auditing practices and understanding of internal audit issues, risks, and remedies. The exam is offered in four parts, each part consisting of 125 multiple-choice questions. The IIA recently updated the CIA exam content, effective with the May 2004 exam. There are four modules on this CD reflecting the four-part exam. Each module contains hundreds of practice questions. The CD can be used as both a study guide (accessing 4000+ questions) or in exam mode.

Full of problems........2007-05-09
First of all, the fonts and the text are too small for spending the necessary time on the program. I had to set the resolution on my computer to its lowest settings to make it feasible for long periods of study. Second, you can take the 4,000 questions and knock off 1,000 of them because of questions that are repeated in different sections. Third, I really don't think that anybody checked to see if the spelling was correct (improper hyphenations such as "unre-alizable"). Fourth, there are several instances of two answers being listed more than once, with one listed as correct and the other incorrect (e.g. V2C2-0074). Fifth, the questions may be the same as in the Gleim textbook, slightly altered but with different answers. Sixth, there are few of the questions with mathematical computations, atleast to the point where I a have used this program. Seventh, I don't think the author understands the difference between "may" and "should". (In one question, it states as an incorrect response that procedures in small companies may be fully documented, and while they don't have to be, relevant to the size of the company, it is incorrect to say that it is wrong for a company to do so.) Eighth, the "Thorough Explanations for Answers" often left me completely confused as to what the justification for the answer was, resulting in me having to go back to a text to see what he was trying to say. Ninth, no printed user guide, the "Help" section is very little help, and the technical support hyperlink is a dead link.
Positives: Some of the questions are different from the Gleim textbook. (Henri Fayol's 14 principles of management, Sarbanes-Oxley 301 whistleblower program implementation); many questions - good practice.
Good sutdy materials, but too complicated software to use........2007-01-13
The content itself is as good as the books. However, this software program does not allow me to understand how to use intuitively. It seems very complicated. That is why I am rating this software program as 4 stars. All I want to do is; test, pick up the questions that I did not answer correctly, re-test only these questions, pick up the questions that I still did not answer correctly, then, print out these question on papaers so that I could carry with me to memorize. It has been more than 2 hours since I installed the program, and I still do not know how to do what I have just mentinoned above. I am not patient enough to read all the help files. I believe that many people, like me, do not want to spend a lot of time reading intensively the help fles, when being hurry to start studying.
Now, this is my second review to tell you all what happened since I wrote the first paragraph. I decided to read all the help files and it took me one entire evening (3 hours ! )to understand exactly how the program works. It was worth though. Since I did not want to get lost in the sea of 4,000 questions. So, if you are thinking of purchasing this product, hurry up and allocate enought time to read help files. Or...., it maybe only me.

This is a very helpful and well-written book.......1998-07-28
Lani tells you step by step how to get organized and prepared for ANY kind of speech/presentation, whether formal or informal, to a group of 3 or a group of 1000. I have always been shy about speaking in front of others, but after reading this book, I now have the confidence I need to feel at ease when called upon to "perform". Once you start reading, you will not want to put it down. You will laugh with Lani as she shares her experiences!
