Fellowship by nomination policy
If Council award Fellowship you will be able to use the designation CFIIA.
Other routes to Fellowship
The majority of Fellowships will made through the nomination process above.
In exceptional circumstances the Council may choose to award Fellowship by election or honorary fellowship. Fellowship by election is intended for individuals who are not eligible for Fellowship by nomination, but who have made a significant contribution to the profession of internal auditing. Members who have been designated Fellows of the IIA in this way may use the designation FIIA as recognition of their award.
Honorary Fellowship is reserved for individuals of influence who have contributed either directly, or indirectly, to the profession of internal auditing, but who are not practising internal auditors. (It carries no voting rights, and does not make the recipient a member of the IIA.)
Due to the exceptional nature of these types of fellowship, they are instigated solely by the Council rather than by nomination.
