The annual CPE requirements for CIA varies depending on the certification/qualification held and whether the certified individual is practicing or non-practicing. Practicing CIAs are required to complete 40 hours of CPE hours during their re-certification cycle while Non-practicing CIAs are required to complete 20 CPE hours during their recertification cycle.
For individuals who hold multiple certifications/qualifications, the CPE hours earned for the CCSA, CGAP, CFSA, CRMA, and QIAL may be applied toward their required CPE requirements for CIA. In other words, if a practicing individual holds both the CIA and CRMA, and completes 40 hours of training related to internal auditing and risk management assurance, those hours can be used to satisfy the CPE requirements for CIA and CRMA.
CIAs are required to complete 2 hours of training on Ethics annually. The IIA does not prescribe where an individual must obtain this training.
