Certified Internal Auditor (CIA)

The CIA is the only globally accepted designation for internal auditors and remains the standards by which individuals demonstrate their competence and professionalism in the internal audit field.

Candidates leave the programme enriched with educational experience, information, and business tools that can be applied immediately in any organisation or business environment.




Certification in Control Self-Assessment (CCSA)
The CCSA is the specialty certification for practitioners of control self-assessment (CSA). The CCSA certification programme identifies the skill sets needed by successful practitioners of CSA, measures understanding of CSA and provides guidance for CSA initiatives.

Gaining the required knowledge of areas such as risk and control models — often considered the realm of auditors only — exposes CSA practitioners from all backgrounds to concepts that are vital in effectively using CSA to help clients achieve their objectives.




Certified Financial Services Auditor (CFSA)
The Certified Financial Services Auditor® (CFSA) is one of The IIA's specialty certifications that measures an individual's knowledge of, and proficiency in, audit principles and practices within the banking, insurance, and securities financial services industries.




Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP)
The Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP®) is the specialty certification designed specifically for and by government auditing practitioners. The CGAP certification programme explores candidates’ comprehension of government auditing practices, methodologies and environment, as well as related standards and risk/control model.

Whether you are new to the government sector or a seasoned practitioner, the CGAP certification offers benefits by verifying your capabilities and providing an avenue for improving your skills and knowledge.



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, CCSAs and CFSAs 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 = #33333 (odd number) reports 2007 and 2008 CPE in 2009.
• Membership/Customer ID = #22222 (even number) reports 2008 and 2009 CPE in 2010.

If you are scheduled to report your CPE hours in 2009 (your membership or customer ID number ends with an odd number), the reporting deadline is May 31, 2009. 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 even number have to submit by the reporting deadline of May 31, 2010.

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*.
