Professional Recognition Credit for CIA Exam Part 4

　　Below is the list of approved certifications for Professional Recognition Credit (PRC4)

　　allowing exemption from Part 4 of the Certified Internal Auditor^® (CIA^®) exam.

　　To receive Part 4 exemption, please follow these steps;

　　Step 1 - Submit Documentation

　　You must submit evidence confirming that you currently hold the designation or that your

　　certification is in a current status.

　　The following are acceptable documents that can be submitted;

　　. Unexpired license

　　. Certificate stating that your certification was issued within the last 2 years.

　　. Letter from the sponsoring organization confirming that you hold the designation and that it is still current.

　　Your documents can be emailed as a scanned attachment to certification@theiia.org or they can be faxed to 407-937-1108. Please include your Candidate ID number in your document’s file name or in your correspondence.

　　Step 2 - PRC4 Registration

　　After your documents have been approved, you should complete the form named “CIA - Registration for Part 4 Professional Recognition Credit” in your CCMS profile.

　　Consideration for New Certifications

　　If you currently hold a certification that is not listed and feel that it should be considered for PRC4, please email us at certification@theiia.org. Please include in your email an attachment of your current certification and mention that you would like to submit your certification to our Board of Regents (BOR) for consideration to be added to the PRC4 list. We cannot guarantee that your certification will be approved but all entries will be properly researched. Due to the length of time of research and amount of prior submissions we are not able to state when a new entry will be reviewed by our BOR. In many cases, this process can take up to a year, requests are processed and submitted to the BOR for review in the order that they are received. Candidates can sit for the actual Part 4 exam if they do not wish to wait for a review.

　　Candidates outside North America who would like a related professional certification to be considered for PRC4 should contact their local IIA institute for their sponsorship and recommendation of the certification. We will then request additional information about the certification and the examination process.
