Why CIA Certification?
As the only globally recognized internal audit certification, becoming a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) is the optimum way to communicate knowledge, skills, and competencies to effectively carry out professional responsibilities for any internal audit, anywhere in the world.
When working in the world of audit and compliance, you will run into many non-certified internal auditors who clearly do not have the expertise of a CIA. This designations separates you from the general profession and proves to others that you are a top internal auditor.
Median salary of an internal auditor with a CIA license earns as much as 40% higher than peers without the credential. Consequently, the internal audit practice can become very lucrative to these individuals in comparison to other career paths and certs. Furthermore, professionals with this certification and sufficient internal auditing experience will almost immediately be promoted or receive salary increases.
Organizations are placing more and more emphasis on compliance, which means employers need the best internal auditors. Many companies are even pushing for their internal auditors to go for their respective certifications
