Auditor Licenses and Certifications
Employment opportunities are best for auditors with certification. Most audit employers prefer or require auditors to have certified public accountant (CPA) or certified internal auditor (CIA) credentials or certified fraud examiner (CFE) and certified information systems auditor (CISA).
CPA audit certification is granted by each state's Board of Accountancy. In nearly all states, accountants or auditors must have 150 academic hours of training, which requires training beyond the typical 120 hours of an undergraduate degree. Therefore, CPA candidates usually have completed graduate-level accounting and auditing courses.
To become certified, auditors must pass the Uniform CPA Examination, which is administered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The exam involves four sections which can be passed at once or on separate testing occasions, though exam-takers are required to pass all four sections within 18 months of passing the initial section. To retain CPA credentials, auditors and accountants must obtain continuing education credits.
The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) offers CIA certification for auditors who have completed a formal audit training program and acquired at least two years of audit experience. Auditors must pass a comprehensive exam that addresses tax and auditing regulations, proper auditing processes and additional areas of financial review. To remain certified, auditors must participate in continuing education courses offered by the IIA.
CFE certification is granted by the Assocation of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) possess unique audit industry expertise in preventing and detecting fraud, and are highly valued by organizations spanning all industries, sectors and sizes. The CFE Exam will test knowledge of the four major areas that comprise the fraud examination body of knowledge.
The CISA certification has been granted in the past by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association. The ISACA now goes by its acronym only, to reflect the broad range of IT governance professionals it serves. ISACA�'s Certified Information Systems Auditor� (CISA�) certification instantly validates skills and expertise in auditing, control and information security. It proves the CISA can assess vulnerabilities, report on compliance and validate and enhance controls in an enterprise.

Our live in-person events are generally presented in a small classroom setting with two to five attendees. Over the last few weeks, we have come to the understand we need to provide distant e-learning events. We are now in the process of moving all our content to an online available status. We have created distant e-learning opportunities using both a virtual webinar event approach and on-demand e-learning self-study modules. These two e-learning approaches: webinars and on-demand self-study with extended web access to our content into the global continuing professional development (CPD) marketplace. In the webinar e-learning events we will limit the number of students to maximize the interaction between the live instructor and attendees. When we create our on-demand self-study e-learning modules, we will strive to meet the NASBA CPE credit requirements.
Our seminars provide CPE for the CPA, CFE, CIA, CISA, auditors and others with effective and engaging internal audit training courses.
Our instructors have had direct experience in the following industries: financial activities, bank, insurance, healthcare, construction, leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, mining and oil & gas extraction, manufacturing, educational, government agencies, transportation, software, technical, hi-tech and agricultural.
