Dear Members

Certification Computer-Based Testing to Launch in May 2008

The IIA is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to its certification program. Beginning in May 2008, certification testing will be available on a year-round basis through the new computer-based testing (CBT) process.  CBT will now go live in May, with no testing-window constraints. This means that certification candidates will be able to take full advantage of computer-based testing anytime throughout the year in multiple languages.

Dear CIAs, CCSAs and CFSAs

Continuing Professional Education Reporting

The Board of Regents of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Inc. requires that after certification, certification holders such as CIAs[click here to download, click here to download], CCSAs [click here to download, click here to download] and CFSAs [click here to download, click here to download]maintain their knowledge and skills and stay abreast of improvements and current developments in their area of certification through Continuing Professional Education (CPE). This is facilitated through a self-certification process with the completion and reporting of required CPE hours on forms which serve as signed statements on a biennial basis to assure that the CPE hours claimed conform to the guidelines established by The IIA Inc. that all applicable continuing professional education requirements have been met.

Each certification holder should submit to the Institute of Internal Auditors Singapore (IIAS) the CPE reporting form and worksheet, in compliance with CPE requirements. Each certification holder should maintain a copy of the CPE reporting form, along with all supporting documentation, for at least three years after the records no longer apply to file CPE reports. Records must be made available to the IIAS at its request*.

 The reporting year is determined by the individual's IIA membership or customer (for non-members) identification number. Certification holders whose membership or customer identification numbers end with an even number should report in even-numbered years and those whose membership or customer identification numbers end with an odd number should report in odd-numbered years.  For example:

- Membership/Customer ID = #22222 (even number) reports 2006 and 2007 CPE in 2008.

- Membership/Customer ID = #33333 (odd number) reports 2007 and 2008 CPE in 2009.

If you are scheduled to report your CPE hours in 2008 (your membership or customer ID number ends with an even number), the reporting deadline is May 31, 2008. Please complete the appropriate forms and fax them to 65-62205972 or mail them to IIA Singapore. We thank you for your co-operation. Please note that certification holders whose membership or customer ID ends with an odd number have to submit by the reporting deadline of May 31, 2009.

CPE reporting by IIA members is free; non-members must submit S$100 processing fee with their report. Cheques should be drawn in favor of “The Institute of Internal Auditors Singapore”. Certification holders who fail to meet their CPE requirements by the reporting deadline will automatically be placed in inactive status and may not use their designation*. 

Please browse our website at www.iia.org.sg on CPE reporting requirement. For clarification or further assistance, please contact the Secretariat office at 65-63249029 or email to iiasg@singnet.com.sg.

Please click the attached for the appropriate forms.

Note: The IIAS may review the records of certification holders and/or course sponsors in the manner it deems appropriate to determine compliance with the requirements set forth in this guidance. The potential penalty for submitting false information and / non-compliance is revocation of the certification(s) concerned.
