Contiuing Professional Education (CPE)
The IIAs Professional Certification Board (PCB) requires that after certification, CIAs, CCSAs, CGAPs, 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).
As an IIA certified or qualified professional, you are responsible for ensuring that the CPE or CPD information in your report is accurate. You must include your membership or customer identification number when reporting your CPE or CPD. Get more information on CPE reporting steps for current and inactive certificates.
The reporting deadline is 31 December each year.
NEW! In 2018, two of your CPE/CPD credits must be earned in Ethics.
Are You Newly Certified or Qualified?
You are awarded CPE or CPD hours (40 or 20) for the year in which the exam is passed, and the other half are for the subsequent year.
