New Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) Syllabus in 2016
In August 2015, the new syllabus was announced, changing the weighting of the 5 domains:
| Domains | Before | After |
| 1. The process of auditing information systems | 14% | 21% |
| 2. Governance and management of IT | 14% | 16% |
| 3. Information systems acquisition, development, and implementation | 19% | 18% |
| 4. Information systems operations, maintenance and support | 23% | 20% |
| 5. Protection of information assets | 30% | 25% |
Other CISA Exam Changes
The number of exam questions is reduced from 200 to 150. The duration remains to be 4 hours.
This means that candidates can now spend, on average, 1.6 minutes on each question instead of 1.2 minutes previously. I wonder if this implies the exam questions are becoming more complex…
