Internal audit culture is rapidly getting stronger in Pakistan now. In Pakistan most of the internal audit jobs are already occupied by CA part qualified people, therefore obviously CIA will add extra advantage to your CV. Also CIA qualification is becoming important in Pakistan due to increasing demand of this certification by state bank and other commercial banks. In Auditor General of Pakistan also CIA is highly regarding qualification. You can judge its importance that AGP conducts classes of CIA and finance its employees to pass CIA exams. Also now state bank requires all the commercial banks to have CIA/CISA qualified persons in their top management.
