Individuals who do not complete their Annual Certification Renewal on or before 31 December will automatically transition from “Active” to “Grace Period” status and may no longer claim that they are certified. Individuals who remain in a Grace Period status for more than 24 months will have their certification(s) revoked.
If a certification is revoked, the paper certificate recognizing achievement of the certification must be destroyed immediately. Additionally, individuals must not use designations (such as CIA, CRMA, etc.) after their name, and they are prohibited from presenting themselves as a certified individual. If they wish to become certified again, individuals must reapply to the CIA or CRMA certification programs, take and pass the exam(s).
There is no provision to recertify for discontinued (CCSA, CFSA, CGAP and QIAL) certification programs.
