CISA Exam-E Book-Sampling
Point to remember for CISA exam:
(1)In any given scenario, statistical sampling is to be used when the probability of error must be objectively quantified (i.e no subjectivity is involved).(2)In any given scenario, Attribute sampling is best suitable for compliance and variable sampling for substantive testing.
(3)In any given scenario, best sampling technique where fraud is being suspected is Discovery Sampling.
(4)A higher confidence coefficient will result in the use of a larger sample size. In other way, higher sample size will give higher confidence coefficient.
(5)In any given scenario, when internal controls are strong, confidence coefficient /sample size may be lowered.
(6)In any given scenario, statistical sampling minimizes the detection risk.

CISA EXAM-E-Book-Check Digit,Parity Bit & Atomicity
Check Digit,Parity Bit & Atomicity
This
article covers three important concepts that invariably find place in almost
all CISA exams i.e Check Digit, Parity Bit and Atomicity.
Point to remember for
CISA exam:
(1)When
objective is to identify transcription and transposition error, answer should
be check digit.
(2)When
objective is to ensure accuracy, answer should be check digit.
(3)When
objective is to identify transmission error, answer should be parity bits or
checksum (higher version of parity bit) or CRC (higher version of checksum).
(4)When
objective is to ensure completeness, answer should be parity bits or checksum (higher
version of parity bit) or CRC (higher version of checksum).
(5)When
objective is to ensure integrity, answer should be parity bits or checksum
(higher version of parity bit) or CRC (higher version of checksum).
(6)For
point no. (3), (4) and (5), first preferences to be given as follow:
(i)First
preference to CRC
(ii)If
CRC is not there as option then preference to be given to Checksum
(iii)If
CRC and Checksum both are not there in option then preference to be given to
Parity Bits.
(7)When objective
is to correct (detect & correct) transmission error, answer should be Forward
Error Control (FEC).
(8)When
objective is to ensure that a transaction must either fully happen, or not happens at all, answer
should be atomicity.
Question, Answer
& Explanation on ‘Check Digit-Parity Bit-Atomicity’ Concept:

CISA Exam-E Book-Wireless (Wi-Fi) Security
Points to remember for
CISA Exam:
(1)In any given
scenario, following are the best practises for Wireless (Wi-Fi) security:
(a)Enable MAC
(Media Access Control) address filtering.
(b)Enable
Encryption to protect data in transit.
(c)Disable SSID
(service set identifier) broadcasting.
(d)Disable DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
(2)In any given
scenario, ‘War Driving’ technique is used by hacker for for unauthorised access
to wireless infrastructure. War driving is a technique in which wireless equipped computer is used
to locate and gain access to wireless networks.
Same is done by driving or walking in and around building. ‘War Driving’
is also used by auditors to test wireless
