The International Standards for the Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) require internal auditors to enhance their knowledge, skills, and other competencies through continuing professional development. This requirement helps ensure that internal auditors remain competent in the growing and dynamic profession of internal auditing.

We are focused on providing quality continuing education to Certified Government Auditing Professionals (CGAP) that incorporates the qualified subject areas.

This policy will soon be known as the "Annual Certification Renewal Policy," replacing the "CPE Reporting Policy." It will take effect for all certification holders and candidates in September 2023.
