Based upon the CPE requirement's for CIA/CISA/CFE it is our understanding that we can offer CPE's. Unless otherwise stated, the CPE's do not come from a registered organization. Individuals are encouraged to confirm our understanding before relying upon it.
CIA:CIAs are required to self-certify as to the completion of the required
continuing education hours. It is the CIA's responsibility to assure
that the CPE hours claimed conform to the guidelines established by The
IIA's Board of Regents. (...)
Qualified CPE Activities
It is anticipated that CIAs will
maintain the high standards of the profession in selecting quality
educational programs to fulfill the CPE requirements. The following
general criteria must be satisfied for a continuing education program
to be accepted:- The
overriding consideration in determining whether a specific program is
acceptable is that it shall be a formal program of learning that
contributes directly to the professional competence of a CIA.
- Acceptable formal programs should:
- Contribute to the professional competence of participants;
- State
program objectives that specify the level of knowledge the participants
should have attained, or the level of competence to be demonstrated
upon completing the program;
- State education or experience prerequisites, if appropriate for the program;
- Be developed by individuals qualified in the subject matter and instructional design;
- Provide program content which is current;
- Be
on a professional level and related to the Common Body of Knowledge.
The following general subjects are acceptable as long as they meet
other CPE program criteria:
- Auditing and accounting
- Management and communication (oral and written).
- Computer science
- Mathematics, statistics, and quantitative applications in business
- Economics
- Business law
- Specific business topics such as finance, production, marketing, and personnel
- Specialized
industry areas such as government, banking, utilities, or oil and gas.
Activities other than those listed in this guidance may be deemed
acceptable if the CIA can demonstrate that they contribute to
professional competence. Substantiating that a particular activity
qualifies as acceptable and meets the requirements is the
responsibility of the CIA.
CPE credit will be
awarded for whole hours only with a minimum of 50 minutes
constituting one hour. As an example, 100 minutes of continuous
instruction would count for two hours; however, more than 50 minutes
but less than 100 minutes of continuous instruction would count for
only one hour. Only class contact or acceptable self-study hours are
allowable. For continuous conferences and conventions when individual
segments are less than 50 minutes, the sum of the segments should be
considered one total program. For example, five 30-minute presentations
would equal 150 minutes and should be counted as three contact hours.
CFE:Yes, unlimited CPE hours per year are allowed for participant
credit, which is defined as instruction in a formal class setting. A
formal class is one that meets in a formal setting, and includes
(1) an instructor;
(2) a written course outline;
(3) attendance that is required and recorded; and
(4) a certificate of completion is issued to the attendee.
CISADocumentation should be in the form of a letter, certificate of
completion, attendance roster, Verification of Attendance form (located
in this policy) or other independent attestation of completion. At a
minimum, each record should include the name of the attendee, name of
the sponsoring organization, activity title, activity description,
activity date, and the number of continuing professional education
hours awarded or claimed.
Unless otherwise stated, most activities do not meet the requirements for CPE's for CPA's.
