CIA Candidate Misconduct Notice

CIA Candidate Misconduct Notice

The Pearson VUE staff is trained to watch for unusual behavior and incidents during the exam. Exam sessions are audio/videotaped to document the occurrence of any unusual activity, and candidate misconduct will be reported to The IIA for investigation.

If you violate any of the testing rules, attempt to remove test items from the center, or are disruptive to other candidates, your exam may be terminated and/or your test scores invalidated.

Testing rule violations include, but are not limited to:

Copying another candidate’s answers during the exam,

Assisting another candidate during the exam,

Using unauthorized material during the exam,

Removing test items from the exam center,

Violating the non-disclosure agreement, or

Submitting false credentials.

The IIA and its Board of Regents consider candidate misconduct related to the certification process a serious offense. Incidents of candidate misconduct will be referred to The IIA’s International Ethics Committee for action. Actions by The IIA’s International Ethics Committee may include invalidation of exam results, disqualification from participation in all IIA certification programs (current and future), and publication of the results of their due process in an IIA publication. If evidence of misconduct is discovered after a candidate has been awarded an IIA certification, the certification may be revoked. The IIA may also take other actions to the extent permitted by law.
