Program Extension for
Certification Candidates
CIA, CCSA, CFSA, CGAP, or CRMA
Certification candidates who are nearing the end of their
four-year program eligibility window now have an opportunity to apply for an
extension before their exam part(s) expire. This extension allows participating
candidates who haven’t yet successfully completed their exam(s), or who have
been accepted into the program but have not yet taken their exam(s), an
opportunity to extend their program eligibility 12 months. Candidates who have
entered one of The IIA’s certification programs (CIA, CCSA, CFSA, CGAP, or
CRMA) initially have four years to complete their exam(s) and earn their
certification.
Candidates may take advantage of The IIA’s new one-time
Certification Candidate Program Extension at a cost of $250 USD
per applicant. This applies to all IIA certifications.
Candidates also may extend their exam window with an Exam
Registration Extension. This extension allows additional 30, 60, or 90 days to
take an exam when a part has not been scheduled or after an initial appointment
is cancelled. The 30, 60, or 90 day extension is available for all examinations
for CIA, CCSA, CFSA, CGAP, and CRMA. A deferment is available for the QIAL.
