“The CIA program provides recognized credentialing of
internal audit expertise and experience. It offers assurance
of foundational skills across diverse disciplines that
I expect of myself and my organization.
I would encourage all auditors at all levels to become
Certified Internal Auditors. From the Chief Audit
Executive to an entry level auditor, preparing for
and passing the CIA is an essential.”

IT’S MORE THAN A TITLE. IT’S MORE THAN AN EXAM.
Internal auditors serve a critical role as independent, objective assurance and consulting professionals in business
environments. In their roles, they bring a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness
of risk management, control, and governance processes within the organization.
Increasingly, organizations are not just seeking auditors for these critical positions, but Certified Internal Auditors® (CIA®).
The CIA is the only globally accepted designation for internal auditors and the standard by which internal auditing professionals
demonstrate their knowledge and competence to facilitate and manage today’s complex internal audit responsibilities.
But the CIA is more than a title. The program is designed as a comprehensive educational and development program to help
internal auditors strengthen and showcase their professional abilities. As a result, the CIA designation will:
• Distinguish you from your peers.
• Carry weight with internal staff and external clients.
• Develop your knowledge of best practices in the industry.
• Demonstrate your proficiency and professionalism.
• Give you personal satisfaction of achievement.
• Boost your career opportunities.
• Lay a foundation for continued improvement and advancement.
Earning the CIA designation is an important accomplishment and a professional advantage for internal auditors during all stages
of their careers, including:
• Chief audit executives.
• Audit managers.
• Audit staff.
• Risk management staff.
• Students enrolled in accounting, business, or financial degree programs.
For internal auditors, no credential is more highly regarded than the CIA. To uphold this standard, the designation is
awarded only to those individuals who have:
• Satisfied the program’s eligibility requirements for education and character reference.
• Passed Parts I, II, and III of the CIA exam.
• Passed or received Professional Recognition Credit for Part IV of the CIA exam.
• Provided verification of two years of internal auditing experience or equivalent.
• Agreed to adhere to The IIA’s Code of Ethics.

2www.theiia.org/Certification
CIA recipients represent the elite members of the internal audit profession. To be eligible for the CIA exam, candidates must
meet certain eligibility requirements to take the exam. The education and character requirements must be met before a
candidate is approved to take the CIA exam. The professional experience requirement may be met before or after taking the CIA
exam parts, but must be completed and submitted before a candidate can become certified and use the CIA designation.
EDUCATION CIA candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree or its educational equivalent from an accredited college-level institution. Certain
international professional designations (such as Chartered Accountant) may be accepted as equivalent to a bachelor’s degree.
Professional work experience will not substitute for an appropriate degree.
The IIA will only consider educational equivalency requests from candidates who have an appropriate international
professional designation or from candidates who have completed more than 90 percent of the academic requirements needed
for a degree at an accredited college-level institution.
Applicants who do not possess a bachelor’s degree and who are unsure whether their educational achievements or professional
designations qualify as equivalents should submit related education/designation information (in English) with their application
and include a cover letter requesting review by the Board of Regents. Information submitted should be sufficiently detailed to
enable the Board of Regents to determine equivalency and must be submitted well in advance of the exam application deadline.
The IIA will accept student candidates into the CIA program who (1) are enrolled as a senior in an undergraduate program or
as a graduate student; (2) are full-time students as defined by the institution in which the student is enrolled (a minimum of 12
semester hours or its equivalent is required for undergraduate students and nine semester hours for graduate students); and (3)
register for and take the CIA exam while enrolled in school.
CHARACTER REFERENCECIA candidates must exhibit high moral and professional character and must submit a character reference form with their exam
application. (See page 21 for form.)
CODE OF ETHICS CIAs and CIA candidates are expected to display exemplary professional behavior and judgment and must agree to abide by the
Code of Ethics established by The IIA.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Candidates are required to complete a minimum of two years of internal auditing experience or its equivalent. Acceptable
equivalent experience includes experience in audit/assessment disciplines, external auditing, quality assurance, compliance, and
internal control. A master’s degree or work experience in related business professions (such as accounting, law, or finance) can
be substituted for one year of the required two years professional internal auditing experience. Candidates may apply and sit for
the CIA exam prior to satisfying the professional experience requirement, but will not be certified until all program requirements
have been met.
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION (CPE) Upon certification, CIAs will be required to maintain their knowledge and skills and stay abreast of improvements and current
developments in internal audit standards, procedures, and techniques. CIAs must acquire 80 hours of Continuing Professional
Education (CPE) every two years and report these hours in compliance with CPE reporting requirements. In acknowledgement
of the study time required to successfully complete the CIA exam, the CPE requirement is waived for the year the exam is passed
and for the subsequent year. IIA members can report their CPE hours at no cost. Nonmembers incur a US $50 fee for CPE
reporting. (See page 6 for special IIA membership offers)

EXAM APPLICATION INFORMATION
CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITYCandidates have an initial eligibility period of two years from the first exam date after their application is approved. Additionally,
each time the candidate sits for the exam, the candidate’s eligibility period is extended two years from the date of the last exam
taken. A candidate’s eligibility expires only if the candidate does not take the exam within any two-year period. If a candidate’s
eligibility expires, the candidate must submit a new Exam Application Form and pay the appropriate application and exam fees
to take any future exams.

EXAM APPLICATION INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
EXAM NONDISCLOSURE AND CONFIDENTIALITYThe IIA’s certification exams are non-disclosed exams, which means that current exam questions and answers are not published
or divulged. Candidates’ question booklets must be turned in with the answer sheets at the conclusion of the exam. Candidates
in the certification programs agree to keep the contents of the exam confidential and therefore may not discuss the specific exam
content with anyone except The IIA’s Certification Department. Unauthorized disclosure of exam material will be considered a
breach of The IIA’s Code of Ethics and could result in disqualification of the candidate or other appropriate censure.
EXAM MISCONDUCT NOTICEThe IIA and the Board of Regents consider candidate misconduct related to the certification process a serious offense. If exam
site chairpersons, exam proctors, or 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’s Certification Department staff
• Submitting false credentials
Actions by The IIA’s International Ethics Committee may include: invalidation of exam results, disqualification from partici-
pation 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.
CONCERNS REGARDING EXAM QUESTIONSCandidates who have concerns regarding exam questions or the testing experience should submit their comments by fax:
+1-407-937-1313 or by e-mail: [email protected] within 96 hours following the completion of an exam, for review by the
Board of Regents prior to grading. Comments on exam questions must identify the general content of the question and briefly
outline any perceived flaw. Candidate input is gratefully acknowledged and considered in the evaluation of the exam and the
testing program.

PREPARING FOR THE EXAM
The CIA exam is a self-study exam and does not require a prescribed curriculum. Candidates may choose their own method of
preparing for the exam.
SAMPLE EXAM QUESTIONSThe IIA includes a limited number of sample CIA exam questions on its Web site to give candidates an understanding of the
types of questions that typically appear on the exam.
MODEL EXAM QUESTIONSThe IIA publishes a model exam question study guide to reveal the current format of the CIA exam. It is designed to provide
candidates with an understanding of the types of questions that typically appear on the CIA exam and offers expanded solutions.
The CIA Model Exam Questions Guide is available in a paperback book or CD-ROM. To purchase, visit
www.theiia.org/Publications and click on “Certification Review Courses,” and then “Materials.”
STUDY MATERIALS AND COURSESThe IIA Research Foundation Bookstore offers a variety of CIA exam study materials from third-party publishers. CIA exam
review courses offered through independent third parties prior to each exam date are also posted on The IIA’s Web site. Please
note that inclusion of a course on The IIA’s Web site does not imply endorsement.
“As internal auditors, our professionalism isn’t optional. To have
credibility we must win the confidence of our clients. And the CIA
designation communicates our competence.”

GRADING PROCESSThe Board of Regents and the Certification Department staff strive to maintain fairness and consistency in grading the certification
exam papers. Exam questions are graded with an optical scanner, and any irregularities are thoroughly researched. The grading
process includes both a pre-exam review of the suggested responses and a post-exam review of the statistical performance of exam
questions. Based on this review, appropriate scoring modifications and adjustments to the grading scale may be made.
PASSING SCOREStatistical information from pre-tested questions is used to maintain comparable difficulty from one exam to the next. Because
the exact number of questions required to pass the exam may adjust slightly from one exam to the next, all raw scores are
converted to a reporting scale. A scaled score of 600 points or higher is required to pass the CIA exam parts. (A scaled score of
600 would be the equivalent of achieving 75 percent correct on an exam of appropriate difficulty.)
EXAM RESULTSExam results are mailed by July 15 for May exams and by January 15 for November exams. Specific passing scores are not reported.
Requests for copies of grade letters will not be accepted until two weeks after the release of exam results. The Certification
Department will not release grades by telephone. All exam results are final. Given the thorough review process outlined above,
regrades will not be performed.
CERTIFICATESOnce a candidate has successfully completed the CIA exam and met all program requirements, The IIA mails the certification
certificate to the local IIA affiliate for presentation to the successful candidate. A listing of IIA affiliates may be found by visiting
“The IIA” at www.theiia.org.

INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of The Institute’s Code of Ethics is to promote an ethical culture in the profession of internalauditing.
Internal auditing is an independent, objective assuranceand consulting activity designed to add value and improvean organization’s operations. It helps an organizationaccomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disci-plined approach to evaluate and improve the effectivenessof risk management, control, and governance processes.
A code of ethics is necessary and appropriate for the profession of internal auditing, founded as it is on the trustplaced in its objective assurance about risk management, control, and governance.
The Institute’s Code of Ethics extends beyond the definition of internal auditing to include two essentialcomponents:
1. Principles that are relevant to the profession and practice of internal auditing;
2. Rules of Conduct that describe behavior norms expected of internal auditors.
These rules are an aid to interpreting the Principles intopractical applications and are intended to guide the ethical conduct of internal auditors. The Code ofEthics together with The Institute’s Professional PracticesFramework and other relevant Institute pronouncements provide guidance to internal auditorsserving others. “Internal auditors” refers to Institutemembers, recipients of or candidates for IIA professionalcertifications, and those who provide internal auditingservices within the definition of internal auditing.
APPLICABILITY AND ENFORCEMENTThis Code of Ethics applies to both individuals and entities that provide internal auditing services. ForInstitute members and recipients of or candidates for IIA professional certifications, breaches of the Code ofEthics will be evaluated and administered according toThe Institute’s Bylaws and Administrative Guidelines. Thefact that a particular conduct is not mentioned in theRules of Conduct does not prevent it from beingunacceptable or discreditable, and therefore, the member,certification holder, or candidate can be liable for disci-plinary action.
PRINCIPLESInternal auditors are expected to apply and uphold thefollowing principles:
IntegrityThe integrity of internal auditors establishes trust and thusprovides the basis for reliance on their judgment.
ObjectivityInternal auditors exhibit the highest level of professionalobjectivity in gathering, evaluating, and communicatinginformation about the activity or process being examined.Internal auditors make a balanced assessment of all the
