Are TheIIC and the CICA and CCA designations recognized?
There is no formal recognition process in the U.S. for recognizing professional certifications in accounting/auditing other the CPA, which is actually a license to practice accounting, administered by the various states in the U.S. Are TheIIC and the CICA and CCA designations recognized for exemption in taking Part IV of the CIA exam? No, the IIA does not recognize any certification from any organization that is earned via the Grandfathering provision. They only will consider applications for recognition only from organizations that grant certification based on passage of an examination. It should be noted that the CFE designation was not recognized by the IIA for almost 15 years due to this limitation.
