Experience the CRMA

Why don’t you take that next step and get your Certification in Risk Management Assurance?

Elevate risk assurance.  Arrive ahead.

As the only risk management assurance certification for internal auditors, The IIA’s Certification in Risk Management Assurance® (CRMA®) program has been updated to reflect the in-depth organizational knowledge and advanced skill sets that are required to provide effective risk management assurance to audit committees and executive management.
Earning the CRMA helps address the impact of risk and demonstrates you can:

• 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 control self-assessment.
• Add value for your organization as a trusted advisor.

The CRMA program education eligibility is an Active Internal Audit Practitioner designation holder, or bachelor’s degree or their equivalent with experience in any of the following: Internal Audit, Quality Assurance, Risk Management, Audit/Assessment/Disciplines, Fraud, Compliance, External Audit, Internal Control.

The program window is two years, meaning that candidates have two years from the date they are accepted into the program to complete the program requirements (i.e., pass the exam and provide evidence that they have obtained relevant years of risk management experience).
