Question: If I am already a CPA, am I exempt from any parts of the CIA exam? And if so, how do I get an exemption?
Answer: Yes! The IIA will grant Professional Recognition Credit for Part IV (PRC-IV) to candidates who possess certain other designations, including the CPA.
CIA candidates who have successfully completed the examination requirements for an approved designation are eligible to receive PRC-IV of the CIA exam. Candidates applying for PRC-IV must provide evidence of a professional certification approved by the Board of Regents.
If you hold an accounting-related certification, check the IIA’s approved certifications list to see if you are eligible for Professional Recognition Credit.
