I already hold the CISSP and CISM certs but the CISA is a different game altogether. Thankfully, Hemang Doshi's CISA exam guide is a game-changer! His expertise makes complex auditing concepts accessible for all learners. The strategic organization and real-world examples ensure practical application. Clear writing and affordability make it a must-have for acing the CISA exam. Highly recommended!

Great book! The layout is very easy to understand, and the content is written, presented in a straightforward manner. I especially liked the unlimited access to the online exam-prep platform that was included with this book. Practice helps!If I were to improve this book, I would be to add an overarching mapping by content to the 5 areas that the CISA exam is testing. For instance, there are 12 chapters in the book, so, perhaps a higher heading to show where each chapter falls (within the 5 groups (areas)?) Before I began studying this book, I spent a couple of minutes making sure that the chapter headings covered each of the topics that were associated with each section, and they did, so, I had no concerns!
