CPE credits for Certification in Risk Management Assurance(CRMA) Professionals

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. In addition to that, those who have obtained a professional certification/qualification through The IIA (henceforth referred to as “certified individuals”) are required to obtain continuing professional development.

MY-CPE LLC offers Continuing Professional Education courses for Certification in Risk Management Assurance (CRMA). We are focused on providing quality continuing education to Certification in Risk Management Assurance (CRMA) that incorporates the qualified subject areas. Our CPE courses are authored/reviewed by industry specialists and subject matter experts.  All our courses are designed in a way to ensure that courses meet your continuing education requirements.

What are CPE Requirements for Certification in Risk Management Assurance (CRMA) Professionals?

The number of annual CPE hours required varies depending on the certification/qualification held and whether the certified individual is practicing or nonpracticing. Practicing CRMAs are required to complete 20 hours of CPE hours during their re-certification cycle while Non-practicing CRMAs are required to complete 10 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 hours for the 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 both the CIA and CRMA. Many of our programs in Live and Self-Study are approved for continuing education for Certified Management Accountant (CMA).

Here are myCPE Packages for the CRMA that meet all of your annual continuing education requirements in one go.

What is the Ethics Requirement for Certification in Risk Management Assurance (CRMA) Professionals?

New CRMAs are awarded 40 CPE hours. Half of the awarded CPE hours (20) are for the year in which the exam is passed, and the other half is for the subsequent year.

Certified individuals report their CPE hours by submitting a CPE reporting form before December 31 annually, which serves as a signed statement that all applicable CPE requirements have been met. A separate CPE reporting form is required for each certification held. In addition to reporting their completion of the required CPE hours, as stated earlier, certified individuals must indicate whether they conform with the Standards and attest to their conformance with The IIA’s Code of Ethics.

Certified individuals must maintain a copy of all supporting documentation as well as the CPE reporting form(s) they submitted for at least three years, and records must be made available to The IIA or its designee upon The IIA's request. The records maintained by the individual must include the following information, as appropriate:

  • Title of the program and/or description of the content.
  • Dates attended.
  • Location of course or program.
  • Sponsoring organization.
  • Contact CPE hours of credit, as recommended by the course or program sponsor.
  • A letter, certificate, or other written independent attestation of course completion.
