Reporting CPE credits biennially is a simple step that helps professionals maintain use of their designation. The CPE reporting deadline is determined by an individual's IIA membership or customer ID number. IIA certified professionals whose membership or customer ID number ends with an even number (e.g., 00002) should report their CPE credits in even-numbered years (i.e.,2010, 2012, etc.). Those with odd-numbered IIA membership or customer ID numbers (e.g., 00001) should report in odd-numbered years (i.e., 2011, 2013). The reporting deadline for the prior two years is May 31 of the reporting year (e.g., candidates reporting in 2011 will report on credits earned during 2009–2010). IIA-certified professionals who fail to meet their CPE requirements by the reporting deadline automatically will be placed in an inactive status and may not use their designation. Members of The IIA can report their CPE credits free of charge. In January 2011, the processing fee for nonmembers will increase to US $100 for each certification. For additional information, such as CPE requirements for IIA certifications, CPE reporting in CCMS, and a list of CPE opportunities, visit www.theiia.org/certification. | NEW IIA PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY POLICY
The certification program’s eligibility policy has changed, requiring candidates to complete the program certification process within four years of application approval. If a candidate has not completed the certification process within four years, all fees and exam parts will be forfeited. For more information about The IIA’s certification program,
visit www.theiia.org/certification. NEW PRICING STRUCTURE FOR IIA CERTIFICATIONS
The IIA has revised its pricing structure for certification fees, effective January 1, 2011. This new pricing structure will more accurately reflect the level of service our IIA Certification programs offer and is more comparable to similar professional certifications. Registrations received by December 31, 2010, will be charged the current 2010 certification fees.
Certification Fee Structure, Effective January 1, 2011
