The IIA seeks qualified individuals to write questions for the CIA exam. The IIA awards $50 (U.S.) to writers for each accepted multiple-choice question. In lieu of payment, writers may instead choose to have five (5) Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) credits for each accepted question. The CAP credits will go toward their local IIA affiliate.
They may also choose to receive three hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) per accepted question. Item writing is included under the publications category for CPE, which allows a maximum of 50 hours to be earned in that category for each two-year period.
Interested individuals can obtain an online application form at The IIA’s website.
