To emphasize and recognize the role of internal auditors in auditing risk management, the Institute of Internal Auditors is launching a new professional certification.
The IIA plans to begin awarding the “Certification in Risk Management Assurance” with a program that begins later this year to identify and recognize those who already demonstrate some significant competence and experience in the profession. Internal auditors who meet some yet-to-be revealed criteria for their knowledge and experience in auditing risk management programs will be awarded the certification under a grandfathering process, says IIA’s Alan Siegfried, who is chairman of the IIA’s global exam development committee.
