The internal audit function is an effective assurance and consulting function designed to evaluate and improve effective risk management, control and governance processes. Internal auditors have obtained prominent status in most corporations and CPA firms. In addition, internal audit has proved to be an effective training ground for potential managers.
CIA Exam Review courses are offered at NIU Hoffman Estates in the fall and NIU Naperville in the spring. NIU is proud to be one of three universities selected by the IIA to deliver online CIA Exam Review courses.
Chief audit executives, audit managers, audit staff, risk managers, finance and accounting students and professionals seeking a better understanding of internal auditing.
The CIA designation is the only globally accepted certification for internal auditors and remains the standard by which individuals demonstrate their competency and professionalism. Candidates complete the program enriched with educational experience, information, and business tools that can be applied immediately in organization and business environments.
