In any competitive job market, the right credential can mean the difference between getting the job or not.
The Institute requires individuals to maintain their credential’s active status. Individuals who do not maintain this status allow their credentials to expire and are no longer allowed to refer to themselves as CICA holders. While nothing is required to maintain an academic degree, continuing education is a requirement for maintaining most CICA credentials. Participation in continuing education activities indicates to your peers, employers and employees that you are committed to professional development.
All members holding the CICA designation are required to complete a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education in a biennial period. The first two year period commences in the year following the year of certification.
The goal of the CPE requirement is to ensure that members maintain the high level of knowledge and skill sets required to stay abreast of professional, including new developments, improvements, etc. Continuing education content must be an area of internal controls, including financial auditing, operational auditing, fraud-related auditing, risk assessment, ethics, and other subjects where the emphasis is on the audit, review, design, and implementation of internal controls.
