Certification in Control Self-Assessment® (CCSA®) Exam Content and Format

Exam Format
The CCSA exam is offered in one part containing 125 multiple choice questions that requires an approximate completion time of three hours. Some of the exam questions are included for research purposes only and do not affect the candidate's score. These research questions are not identified, so candidates should answer all questions to the best of their ability. The use of research questions benefits CCSA candidates by allowing The IIA to include only pretested, statistically valid questions in scoring the CCSA exam.

Exam Nondisclosure
The CCSA exam is a nondisclosed examination, which means that current exam questions and answers will not be published or divulged. Candidates' question booklets must be turned in with their answer sheets at the conclusion of the examination. 

CCSA Exam Topic Outline
The topics tested on the CCSA exam are framed in the context of a variety of industry situations. Candidates are not expected to be familiar with industry-specific controls, but should be able to relate to risks and controls that generally apply to business processes in various industries.  Exam topics are subject to change.
