New benefits for ACCA members
16 Jan 2007
ACCA has signed a partnership agreement with The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), the international professional association based in Florida, USA that will enable members to benefit from membership of The IIA and gain specialist audit certification.
ACCA members will be able to enjoy both local and IIA Global benefits including a discount on their first year's membership fee if they reside in the following areas UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Caribbean and Malaysia. Members residing outside these locations may be eligible to join IIA Affiliates locally or join IIA Global if there is not an IIA Affiliate in their region.
In addition, ACCA members will have a unique opportunity to gain certification during 2007. Members based in the UK and Ireland will be eligible to gain the Advanced Diploma in Internal Auditing and Management through a special fast-track exemption route and examinations that will be held in June and November 2007. Members based elsewhere will be eligible to gain the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) qualification on the basis of successful completion of a challenge exam which will be held in November 2007.
Clare Minchington, managing director, education, learning and development at ACCA, said âThis is an exciting development which will enable ACCA members to register as professional internal auditors with The IIA under one membership model. The IIA and ACCA are truly global organisations, with synergies which make it ideally suited to a joint arrangement such as this. The benefits are clear for ACCA members, and we look forward to working with The IIA in the future.â
Jo-El La Borde, director of membership from The IIA, said âThis new model offers a streamlined approach for IIA enrolment on a global basis delivering robust opportunities for members to join IIA Affiliate networks or the option to join IIA Global directly. The IIA looks forward to continuing this relationship as we together enhance the profession of internal audit.â
