Created by Dr. Sabine Charles
"I built the institute I wished had existed when I was earning my own certifications."
Your CIA materials are built by Dr. Sabine Charles, DBA, CIA, CFE, CISA, CISM, founder of TAPA Institute and a 15+ year audit and risk advisor to Deloitte, American Express, and Citibank.
Dr. Charles holds 12 professional certifications including the CIA itself, and serves as an Adjunct Professor of Forensic Accounting, Auditing, and IT for Accountants. She built these materials from the perspective of someone who has actually sat and passed the exam.
These aren't repackaged textbook chapters. They're structured around how internal audit is actually practiced, and how the exam actually tests it.
