The IIA is currently developing a new framework for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and aims to launch a pilot of the new CPD programme in April 2008.

The new programme aims to raise the standard of internal audit practice in the UK and Ireland, and ensure the continued professional competence and status of Institute members.

It will be mandatory for all IIA members including affiliate and group members but excludes retired members.

The main proposals are outlined in the consultation document, which was sent to members in August 2007. The Council of Directors has approved these proposals and our education team is now designing a programme based on them.

Members have so far had two opportunities to give input to this new framework via an online survey and consultation document. Feedback from members has shown strong support for the proposals and further comments and suggestions are still gratefully received – please click here to tell us what you think.

Details of further developments will be posted on this page as they become available, so check back later for more news. If you have any questions about the new programme please click here.
