Hey All,
First off, a VERY GOOD LUCK to all appearing (including myself)
Secondly, in my opinion The CISA Review Manual 2005, ISACA CD-ROM 650 Q/A 2005 & BOSON Tests oughta be enough for good preparation, given that one prepares from these sources THOROUGHLY !
Besides that, CISA Exam Cram 2 is a VERY SHORT and distilled version for study. The CISA Exam Prep. Guide is also a nice reference. Ron Weber book is on the IS audit subject. All of these books do good as a secondary source. Only to be consulted when u dont fully understand the scope of statements in CRM.
Moreover, I also think that preparing from CISSP sources is not a good idea, since CISA is focused on the auditing perspective and you DONT get that from CISSP.
And Atif, u can find the CISA review manual from Urdu Bazar, Lahore since i had my copy shipped from there. I dont remember the name of the shop since my brother bought it from there. You can ask anyone in an auditing firm to give you pointers about that. It costed me 500 PKR.
