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

  • Develop your knowledge of best practices in the industry.
  • Demonstrate your proficiency and professionalism.
  • Lay a foundation for continued improvement and advancement.

The CIA is offered in prometric centers located worldwide throughout the year. Candidates are able to sit for the exams at any IIA-authorized testing center regardless of whether the testing center is located in his/her home country.

The score is reported on the scale of 250 to 750 points based on the number of questions answered correctly. There is no penalty for incorrect responses. A score of 600 or higher on this scale is required to pass an IIA exam.

If the candidate achieves a passing score, the score report will indicate that he/she passed and no numeric score is reported. If he/she does not pass the test, the score report will indicate the numeric score.

The score will become official once the IIA publishes the score though the candidate receives unofficial score report immediately after taking the test at the prometric center.
