The IIA SA offers two professional training programs, namely:

• Internal Audit Technician (IAT) – This is the first level designation that all internal auditors entering the profession should obtain. An IAT should be able to perform routine audit tasks, execute audit programmes, prepare work papers and draft audit findings.
• Professional Internal Auditor (PIA) - previously known as the General Internal Auditor (GIA) is the next step in the career path and is a supervisory level designation. A PIA should be able to perform some senior and supervisory tasks, and conduct multiple audit duties. These include budgeting, planning, audit program preparation, scheduling, staff monitoring, completion of special projects with little supervision, and preparation of audit reports.

Professional Training Programs are offered by the IIA SA as part of the learning pathway for Internal Auditors. More information on the Programs is available here. If you have completed one of our programs, click the relevant button below to apply for your final assessment.
