  Jason,
  
  ISACA deleted Domain 6 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery and merged the content into Domains 2 and 4. They’ve also changed the weight of the different domains. Domain 2 received the business continuity portion and there is some additional information regarding “Auditing Business Continuity” which wasn’t in the 2010 manual. Domain 4 has additional information on Wireless and domain 5 has some new information on forensics.

The reason why I am still stuck to 2010 CRM is I could not clear the Dec 2010 exam.

  There have been several changes to the material. The old domain 6 BCP and DRP have been split and updated. BCP has been moved to Domain 2 and DRP has been moved to Domain 4. You should try to find someone who has a CRM 2011 and get the updates before you sit for the exam.

  DIPTI,
  
  There are several articles which deal with each of the CISA domains. If you look at each of the individual domain articles you will get a brief overview of the important topics for each of the five CISA domains.
