This is the next step in the career path.  The GIA is a supervisory level designation and the format of this program is the same as for the IAT – comprising training modules and structured workplace training. The focus is on being able to perform some senior and supervisory tasks, and conduct multiple audit duties.  A GIA should be able to perform duties with limited or no supervision. 

Entrance to the GIA program is by two means – having successfully completed the IAT program, or having being assessed as competent against the IAT Training Log Book specifications.
