Certification in Risk Management Assurance

 

Be a Key Advisor to the Audit Committee and Executive Management for Risk Management

Job analysis and stakeholder surveys have indicated a key element to unlocking internal audit’s full potential can be found in a professional’s ability to provide advice and assurance on risk management to audit committees and executive management. In response, The IIA developed the CRMA designation.
 
The standard CRMA Exam will be 125-questions, multiple-choice questions and up to 50% advanced questions, with a seat time of 150 minutes. These exams will be instantly scored like all of the other IIA exams, and will be  administered at Pearson VUE testing centers around the world. All CRMA eligibility requirements will apply.  
 
The CRMA: Your Key to Career Success
The CRMA is designed for internal auditors and risk management professionals with responsibility for and experience in providing risk assurance, governance processes, quality assurance, or control self-assessment (CSA). It demonstrates an individual’s ability to evaluate the dynamic components that comprise an organization’s governance and enterprise risk management programme and provide advice and assurance around these issues.
 
The CRMA is one more mark of professional distinction for internal audit practitioners. Earning the CRMA will assist you in demonstrating your ability to:
  • Provide assurance on core business processes in risk management and governance.
  • Educate management and the audit committee on risk and risk management concepts.
  • Offer quality assurance and and control self-assessment.
  • Focus on strategic organizational risks.
