For Internal Auditors, taking the CIA exam, is it worth it?

[jump]

Especially for those who have plans on taking the certification on their personal account, is it worth the $300? Does it really enhance ones value as an internal auditor?

[BabadSaComputer]

In my opinion, no. But it enhances one's market value.

Wow... May ganitong topic pala dito sa TWF... pero matagal na yung huling post... :D

Anyways, I'm seriously considering taking the CIA exams. But I'm reluctant because I don't know anything about the entire CIA process (review, application, exams, etc.) except for the postings at the IIA-P's website. Also, wala rin ako matanungang tao na nakapag CIA na. I don't even know where I can get a copy of the popular CIA Reviewer Gleim.

Any info, guys? Share naman kayo... :)

E anu ba ang gusto yung malaman about CIA?

[wulpgang]

gusto ko din magtake ng CIA exam.... kaya lang hindi pa ako qualified.. 3 years ang required experience diba? pagkakaalam ko, pwede na kaagad magexam kahit wala pang 3 years, pero makukuha mo lang yung ID/magiging CIA ka lang kapag complete na ang requirements mo.

if ever, i would like to become, "wulpgang, CPA, CIA" *okay*

well, libre naman mangarap.:)

^2 years work experience lang ang kailangan. Yes, you have to comply with all the requirements before you can use the "title". Anyway, madali na lang naman ang requirements. Ang biggest obstacle lang yung exam.

You can order the Gleim online or at IIA-P. However, I heard they are having problems with their shipment dahil sa Customs. :)
