REO CIA Review Program

Sheena Marie Valonzo, CPA, CIA

REO CIA Passer

I have always been passionate about the audit profession. My journey began in external audit, and I eventually transitioned into internal audit, a field that continues to challenge and fulfill me. I had heard about the CIA certification early in my career, but I often doubted whether I could balance the demands of both work and exam preparation. In late 2023, driven by a desire to grow and enhance my professional credentials, I finally committed to pursuing the CIA. I initially planned to do a self-review using my own materials. However, I came across REO through a social media post and heard positive feedback from friends, which encouraged me to enroll thinking that additional support and resources certainly wouldn't hurt. Looking back, I am incredibly grateful that I made that decision. REO's study materials and mobile app were extremely helpful, offering convenient access anytime and anywhere. The practice questions boosted my preparedness as they closely reflected the structure of the actual exam. I am especially thankful to Sir Kebyn for his invaluable support, insightful tips, and patience in answering all my questions even long after my review period in REO had ended. His guidance greatly increased my confidence especially for Part 3, which I had the least time to prepare for and is widely considered the most challenging of the three parts. Thank you, REO for being a part of my CIA journey. May you continue to guide, empower, and inspire many more aspiring CIAS.
