Certified Audit and Investigations Professional (CAIP)
Take your Fraud & Investigations Career to the next level and become an Audit and Investigations Professional with an Audit Certification!
Certification Description
In 1941, The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) was founded in New York City, USA by a small group of practicing internal auditors. The group recognized they had many commonalities in the way they worked even though they worked in different businesses and industries. The internal audit profession evolved steadily with the progress of management science after World War II. Much of the theory underlying internal auditing is derived from management consulting and public accounting professions. With the implementation of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the profession’s growth accelerated as internal auditing became more visible, respected, and valued.
