CISA® Review
Manual 2011
ISACA
The CISA® Review
Manual 2011 is
a comprehensive
reference guide
designed to assist individuals in preparing
for the CISA exam and individuals
who wish to understand the roles and
responsibilities of an information systems
auditor. The manual has evolved over
the past editions and now represents the
most current, comprehensive, globally
peer-reviewed information systems (IS)
audit, assurance, security and control
resource available, based on the recently
developed 2011 CISA job practice.
The CISA Review Manual 2011 features
a new format. Each of the five chapters
has been divided into two sections
for focused study. The first section of
each chapter contains the definitions
and objectives for the five areas, with
the corresponding tasks performed by
IS auditors and knowledge statements
(required to plan, manage and perform IS
audits) that are tested on the exam.
Section One is an overview that provides:
• Definitions for the five new areas
• Objectives for each area
• Descriptions of the tasks
• A map of the relationship of each task
to the knowledge statements
• A reference guide for the knowledge
statements, including the relevant
concepts and explanations
• References to specific content in
Section Two for each knowledge
statement
• Sample practice questions and
explanations of the answers
• Suggested resources for further study
Section Two consists of reference
material and content that supports
the knowledge statements. Material
included is pertinent for CISA candidates’
knowledge and/or understanding when
preparing for the CISA certification
exam. In addition, the CISA Review
Manual 2011 includes brief chapter
summaries focused on the main topics
and case studies to assist candidates in
understanding current practices. Also
included are definitions of terms most
commonly found on the exam.
This manual can be used as a stand-alone
document for individual study or as a guide
or reference for study groups and chapters
conducting local review courses.
The 2011 edition has been developed
and is organized to assist candidates in
understanding essential concepts and
studying the following job practice areas:
• The Process of Auditing Information
Systems
• Governance and Management of IT
• Information Systems Acquisition,
Development and Implementation
• Information Systems Operations, Maintenance and Support • Protection of Information Assets CRM- 11 English Edition CRM-11C Chinese Simplified Edition CRM-11F French Edition CRM-11I Italian Edition CRM-11J Japanese Edition CRM-11S Spanish Edition

The CISA® Review
Questions, Answers & Explanations
Manual 2011 consists of 900 multiple-choice study questions that have
previously appeared in the CISA® Review
Questions, Answers & Explanations
Manual 2010 and the 2010 Supplement.
Many questions have been revised
or completely rewritten to recognize
changes based on the new 2011
CISA job practice, and to be more
representative of the current CISA exam
question format, and/or provide further
clarity or explanation of the correct
answer. These questions are not actual
exam items, but are intended to provide
CISA candidates with an understanding
of the type and structure of questions and
content that have previously appeared
on the exam. This publication is ideal to
use in conjunction with the CISA Review
Manual 2011.
To assist candidates in maximizing study
efforts, questions are presented in the
following two ways:
• Sorted by job practice area
• Scrambled as a sample
