Royal Charter
We can grant Chartered Internal Auditor status
As a chartered institute, we are able to grant the status of Chartered Internal Auditor to members who have either completed our approved qualification or been assessed via our chartered by experience route.
These members can use the designation CMIIA, showing that they have achieved the highest professional standing for internal auditors in the UK and Ireland. Chartered Internal Auditors who have also been granted Fellowship of the IIA can use the designation CFIIA.
Being a member of a chartered professional body brings greater status and recognition for all our members. It also helps us to achieve our goals of raising the profile and influence of the profession and growing our membership.
A Royal Charter is given by the Privy Council on behalf of the sovereign and we were granted this in 2010. Currently there are about 400 chartered bodies actively within the purview of the Privy Council.
We are a company incorporated by Royal Charter (England/Wales), number RC000840.
