The Certified Internal Auditor (CIA®)

The Certified Internal Auditor (CIA®) designation is a globally accepted certification designation for internal auditors and remains the standard by which individuals demonstrate their competency and professionalism in the internal auditing field.

The CIA exam tests a candidate's knowledge of current internal auditing practices and understanding of internal audit issues, risks and remedies. The exam is offered in four parts, each part consisting of 125 multiple-choice questions. 

Part I:  The Internal Audit Activity’s Role in Governance, Risk, and Control

Part II:  Conducting the Internal Audit Engagement

Part III:  Business Analysis and Information Technology

Part IV:  Business Management Skills

The CIA exam is a self-study exam.  Various CIA exam review manual and software programs are available and may be ordered through the IIA’s bookstore.  A variety of independent third parties also offer CIA exam review courses.  These are posted on the IIA’s Web site. 

CIA candidates must hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited college-level institution. You do not have to be a member of The IIA to take the CIA exam or become a CIA, but we encourage you to consider its advantages.  However, all CIAs - members and nonmembers - must be familiar with The IIA's International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and agree to abide by The IIA's Code of Ethics, which sets forth a standard of conduct for all internal auditors.

Download the CIA Program Information and Registration Package by going to www.theiia.org. To receive by mail, e-mail certification@theiia.org or fax a request to (407) 937-1101. Provide your full name, address, and telephone number.  You may reach the IIA by phone at (407) 937-1323.
