CCP for IA
What is it?
The Career Conversion Programme (CCP) for Internal Auditors is a programme by Workforce Singapore (WSG), in collaboration with The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Singapore and Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).
Overview of Programme
IIA Singapore is the appointed programme partner for the CCP.
The six-month CCP programme aims to convert mid-career Professionals, Managers, Executives, and Technicians (PMETs) into Internal Audit roles. CCP trainees will undergo a six-month On-the-Job Training (OJT) and optional faciliated training. The CCP is OJT-centric, covering core Technical Skills and Competencies (TSCs) and Critical Core Skills (CCS).
We have developed an OJT template outlining key competencies, which hiring companies can use to tailor the job scope for their trainees.
You can find an overview of the programme in our flyer here.
