2013 Upgrade Guarantee
| In July 2013, The IIA will begin testing the new 3-part CIA exam (for details, please visit https://na.theiia.org/certification). A new version of The IIA's CIA Learning System (version 4.0) will be released in April 2013 to provide comprehensive and up-to-date preparation for the 3-part exam. For those who purchase The IIA's CIA Learning System for the 4-Part CIA exam (version 3.1 - English) but are not able to complete the 4-Part CIA exam before December 31, 2013, we have created the Learning System's Upgrade Guarantee.
How long do I have to complete the 4-part CIA exam?You will have until June 30th, 2013 to sign-up for the 4-part CIA exam. Once you sign-up to take the exam, you have 180 days to schedule and sit for the exam. If you follow this schedule, the 4-part materials will be good until December 31, 2013. Who is eligible for the guarantee? |
If you fit the following two criteria, you are eligible for the upgrade guarantee:

*Please note: The IIA's CIA Learning System is non-transferable, in accordance with the terms of use agreement to which you agreed when you activated the software. The terms of use agreement remains in effect should you choose to upgrade to the electronic components of version 4.0.
