CE credits for Certified Controls Specialist (CCS)

The Certified Controls Specialist (CCS) designation is designed for professionals tasked with overseeing, assessing, or appraising internal control structures and systems. Individuals who typically qualify for the CCS designation encompass a broad spectrum of roles, such as Internal Auditors, External Auditors, Operational Auditors, Compliance Auditors, Consultants, Forensic Accountants and Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs), Inspector Generals, and Audit Committee Members. This includes various categories of auditors like those focused on financial, operational, IT, fraud, and risk management areas. Additionally, the designation is open to non-auditors who bear the responsibility of formally or informally scrutinizing internal controls and systems, gauging their sufficiency, and suggesting enhancements to bolster their effectiveness.

MYCPE ONE specializes in delivering Continuing Professional Education (CPE) courses tailored for individuals holding the Certified Controls Specialist (CCS) designation. Our primary focus lies in offering superior quality continuing education that encompasses pertinent subject areas. Industry experts and specialists meticulously curate and review our CE courses. Each course is thoughtfully structured to guarantee alignment with your ongoing educational requisites.

Certified Controls Specialist (CCS) can complete 100% of the total required CPE credit hours via self-study courses. i.e., CIAs can complete CPE hours via self-study courses from NASBA-approved CPE sponsors as MYCPE ONE is approved by NASBA. MYCPE ONE has effectively met the standards set up by The Institute for Internal Controls (IIC) so all MYCPE ONE courses are eligible for IIC Credits. Our Packages for CCS Professionals are 100% compliant with that requirement.

Excess CPE hours beyond the minimum requirement cannot be carried forward, except for excess hours earned in the last quarter of a biennial period, which can be carried over to the following year/biennial period.

Failure to maintain the minimum requirements will result in withdrawal of the professional certification designations.

It is the members' responsibility to maintain records of their Continuing Professional Education (CPE) activities. These records should be kept for a duration of three years following the relevant two-year cycle. This documentation should include evidence of participation and successful completion of courses or events.

Extensions are granted for six months, and any CPE earned during this grace period will not be credited to the subsequent biennial period.

Extensions are granted only for extenuating circumstances like illness or family crisis. Loss of employment, relocation, and workload do not qualify for extensions.

Yes, you can take courses from licensed sponsors approved by State Boards of Accountancy or professional organizations, but approval may be required from the Institute for Internal Controls.

MYCPE ONE provides courses that are approved for continuing education credits by NASBA. Based on the guidelines issued by these boards regarding Continuing Education Requirements, we recommend the programs/ webinars be suitable for CCS designation holders. However, it will be the responsibility of each attendee to ensure that they are eligible for the Continuing Professional Education Credits based on their occupation/ job profile, knowledge requirements as well and guidelines laid down by their regulatory board before registering for the webinars.
