Conflict to Collaboration Organizations look for collaborative solutions when

people need to tap into others for skills, expertise, creativity, innovation, and fresh perspectives. An

effective Internal Auditor has a process for collaboration including goal definition, fact finding, issue definition, requesting help, exploring options,

implementation, and follow up. • Identify opportunities for collaborative solutions

• Enlist the skills and abilities of others to provide support and direction

• Collaborate with others to reduce conflict and create synergy

Lead Change Without Authority Internal Auditors have the capability to lead change,

regardless of authority, and most organizations are looking for them to be proactive in generating change.

Leading change without authority includes charting current changes, understanding the change process,

identifying leadership opportunities and strategies, and creating flexibility while honoring the chain of command.

• Follow principles for leading change without authority

• Understand your position in the Change Model

• Maintain flexibility in dealing with change

Present to Inform Executives Presentations to inform is a common type of business presentation for Internal Auditors, including update

meetings and briefings up, across and down. Informative presentations should include knowledge of the audience, convincing evidence, clear message, visual impact, and soliciting feedback.

• Plan for effective informational presentations • Use a structure for making your ideas clear

• Reinforce your information using visual impact • Solicit feedback to ensure the clarity of your

message

Be in Control on Exam Day Melissa Leonard Gleim Chapter Coordinator

Last month's article highlighted the importance of being in control when preparing for the exam. This article

provides examples of how to remain in control on exam day.

Dress for Success. When taking the exam, dressing for success means wearing comfortable clothes. Sweats, shorts,

and jeans are very appropriate. Wear several layers so you can add or remove clothing to adjust accordingly for the temperature in the testing room.

Put Down the Books. It is tempting to bring notes, texts, other books, etc., to the exam. Avoid this trap, as you will only make yourself nervous and confused by trying to cram during those last few minutes before your exam. Be

confident your review program thoroughly prepared you for this day.

Be Early. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Plan ahead for the day of the exam to

avoid the stress of being rushed and the possibility of not making your appointment. You do not want to be forced

to reschedule and delay your ability to take future parts.

Test Day Essentials. Take your Authorization to Test notification from The IIA, your appointment confirmation letter

from Pearson VUE, and at least one valid form of identification with you. If you do not present acceptable

identification and the required paperwork, you will not be allowed to take your exam, your registration will be voided, you will forfeit your exam registration fee, and you will be required to re-register and pay for that exam part

again in order to sit for it in the future.

Exam Time. Once you have checked in and are ready for the exam, read the exam instructions carefully. View the

tutorial to ensure that you are familiar with how to navigate through the exam. Remember, Gleim CIA Review

emulates the exam environment, allowing you to concentrate on answering questions and maintaining time management.

Execute Your Game Plan. Answer the 100 questions in chronological order, but flag any questions that you wish to review later. Utilizing the time management system that you practiced during your exam preparation, answer every question and then use your remaining time to carefully review each question you flagged. If you made an obvious

mistake, e.g., misread the question, make the correction. Do not, however, begin second-guessing yourself and changing answers.

I would like to hear from you. How was your exam experience? Do you have any tips or advice to provide to fellow

exam takers? What advantages of being certified have you experienced? Email Gleim at [email protected] with your questions.

Remember, as an Orange County Chapter member, you will receive a discount on Gleim material. Gleim has been helping CIA candidates pass the CIA Exam since 1980.

Contact Melissa at 800.874.5346, ext. 131 or [email protected] to take advantage of your chapter discount or if you have any questions.

You can always find a reason to not take the exam, but remember the value in being certified. There is always a

way to find the time and money to accomplish your goal. Once you are a CIA, you will not only have professional advantages, but you will also feel personal satisfaction. The self-confidence gained from completing the exam and

using those three letters behind your name will be well worth the energy spent on making the time and finding the

cash.
