Question 1 of 125

During the planning stage of an assurance engagement, the engagement supervisor initially reviews the control environment to identify and examine possible fraud risks. Which finding should be considered a potential red flag?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

Senior management setting unattainable business targets creates pressure to meet unrealistic expectations, which is a key element of fraud risk. Employees or managers may manipulate financial results, override controls, or conceal problems to avoid failing to achieve those targets. Reinforcing ethics and whistleblowing policies generally strengthens the control environment, while a missing succession plan is primarily a governance and continuity concern rather than a direct fraud red flag.

Question 2 of 125

An organization is considering the acquisition of a target organization. Senior management asks the internal audit function to advise on the target organization’s information security practices. What type of internal audit service is this?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

Due diligence involves evaluating a target organization’s risks, controls, and practices before an acquisition or other significant transaction. Reviewing information security helps management understand potential cyber risks, control weaknesses, compliance exposures, and costs that may affect the acquisition decision. Internal audit provides advisory insight while management remains responsible for deciding whether and how to proceed with the transaction.

Question 3 of 125

What should the internal audit function promote to most effectively deter fraud?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

An ethical culture most effectively deters fraud by establishing clear expectations of integrity, accountability, and appropriate behavior throughout the organization. When leadership consistently demonstrates ethical conduct, employees are less likely to rationalize misconduct and more likely to challenge it. Fraud risk assessments and reporting mechanisms help identify or detect fraud, but they do not prevent unethical behavior as broadly as a strong ethical culture.

Question 4 of 125

Which control is meant to prevent fraud?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

A periodic organization-wide presentation on fraud resilience builds awareness of fraud risks, ethical expectations, and employees' responsibilities to recognize and avoid improper conduct. This is a preventive control because it seeks to discourage fraud before it occurs by strengthening the control culture. A whistleblower hotline and reviews of exceptions primarily help detect or report suspected fraud, while year-end reconciliations identify errors or irregularities after transactions have occurred.

Question 5 of 125

Which of the following options would include the policies and procedures that help ensure management’s risk responses are accomplished?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

Control activities include the policies and procedures designed to carry out management’s chosen risk responses. They may include approvals, authorizations, reconciliations, segregation of duties, and access controls that reduce the likelihood or impact of identified risks. Risk assessment identifies and evaluates risks, while monitoring evaluates whether controls continue to operate effectively.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
