Why is The Institute for Internal Controls offering certification via the Grandfathering Provision?
The Institute for Internal Controls recognizes that there are many experienced professionals who meet the criteria for certification as a CICA or CCS based on their education, experience and other professional certifications they hold. Following the tradition of many of the other well known certification organizations including the IIA, ACFE, and ISACA, who likewise granted certifications under their grandfathering provisions during their early years, TheIIC Advisory Board has approved the granting of the CICA and CCS certification under the grandfathering provision.
