Exam Misconduct Notice
The IIA and its Board of Regents consider candidate misconduct related to the certification process to be a serious offense. If examination site chairpersons, exam proctors, or IIA Certification Department staff determine that misconduct has occurred, the Board of Regents will immediately refer the case to the International Ethics Committee for action.

Reportable offenses include, but are not limited to:

• Copying another candidate's answers during the exam,
• Assisting another candidate during the exam,
• Using unauthorized material during the exam,
• Removing exam booklets, in whole or part, from the exam site,
• Discussing exam questions with anyone other than The IIA Certification Department staff, and
• Submitting false credentials.

Actions by the International Ethics Committee may include: invalidation of exam results, disqualification from participation in all IIA certification programs, and publication of the results of their due process in an IIA publication. If evidence of misconduct is discovered after a candidate has been awarded an IIA certification, it may be revoked.
