Certified Internal Auditor

A Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) is a professional designation given to individuals who demonstrate expertise in internal auditing, risk management, and control processes within an organization. The CIA certification is awarded by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), which is a global professional association for internal auditors. To become a CIA, individuals must meet specific education and professional experience requirements, pass a series of exams, and adhere to the IIA’s code of ethics and professional standards. The CIA designation is recognized globally as a mark of competence and credibility in the field of internal auditing. The CIA program is the flagship offering of the IIA, which was established in 1941 and has grown to encompass over 200000 members in nearly 160 countries.
