1.5 CPE This is the second of a multi-part course series following the structure of my book Auditor’s Guide to IT Auditing which follows the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) Certified Information Systems Auditor qualification syllabus.
The whole series takes the aspiring IT auditor from the basics all the way through to advanced concepts and techniques for conducting professional IT audits.
Both the book and the courses have proven of major assistance to auditors for the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) exam as well as Part 1 of the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examination of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
Part 2 of the series covers the risks within today’s information systems and the fundamental audit concepts together with the Standards and Guidelines for IT auditing. It also introduces auditors to Internal Control Concepts.

The flow of information presented in this course was not as cohesive as in part 1. I felt that the material could have been better organized to emphasize the role of management/board versus the role of internal audit. However, the content was all relevant to today's business and audit environment and the presenter was easy to undrstand (if a bit monotonous).

A very informative course where it stated the standards and guidelines available and what to focus on those standards given.
There are rooms for improvement to make the slides and course more interesting whereby instructor may include some real-life examples.

Alarming to see COSO referred to as COSA on slide 20 (and in the recorded presentation). Overall, a decent overview of control frameworks and professional standards. I have concerns about the "correct" answers to some of the final exam questions though.

The course is very informative and structured. The presenter discussed the theoretical aspects of IT audit, particularly,on how to assess the risk based audit methodologies in an Information Systems.

The video course was informative although a bit elementary. The exam had no correlation with the video material and the "correct" answers were not correct.

Going through each of the governing bodies and frameworks to determine where IS requirements come from and are established was very interesting.

An answer for an exam question is wrong. Like with part 1 the material on slides does not completely cover the exam questions.

I've used Illumeo for cpes for a few years, and the classes are always fair for the amount of cpes you get in time spent.

The course spends a lot of time on the values assigned to risk ratings. Also, one of the final exam questions is wrong.

Some of what was presented was wrong in my opinion. This has been the weakest class I’ve taken to date.
