Becker Introduces CIA® Challenge Exam Review Course in Partnership with The IIA®

Becker Professional Education expands its partnership with The Institute of Internal Auditors^® (The IIA^®) with the launch of a new CIA^® Challenge Exam Review course.

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Becker, a leader in accounting exam review and continuing professional education, announced the new Becker—The IIA CIA^® Challenge Exam Review course, developed in partnership with The IIA, the global authority on the practice and standards of internal auditing and administrator of the prestigious Certified Internal Auditor^® (CIA^®) credential.

The IIA’s CIA Challenge Exam offers professionals holding CPA, ACCA, CISA, ICAEW, CA, and other qualifying credentials an accelerated path to earning their CIA certification through a single-part Challenge Exam, rather than the traditional three-part format.

“The CIA Challenge Exam offers credential-holders – including CISAs and members of accounting bodies around the world – a unique opportunity to further distinguish themselves with the gold standard certification in internal auditing,” said Anthony Pugliese, CIA, CPA, CGMA, CITP, President, and CEO of The IIA. “We’re proud to partner with Becker to make this pathway more accessible and to help elevate the profession globally.”

Building on an already successful CIA Exam Review partnership with The IIA, Becker is pleased to add the CIA Challenge Exam Review product to support a broader range of professionals seeking to deepen their auditing expertise. The new course helps eligible credential-holders streamline their path to earning the CIA designation while preparing them to grow their careers in auditing specializations.

The CIA Challenge Exam Review combines Becker’s leading study tools, including engaging video lectures, a detailed textbook, AI-powered and personalized practice tests that target weaker concept areas, simulated exams, a customizable study planner, and Becker’s Newt^TM AI tutor with content developed in collaboration with The IIA’s own exam and education experts. The course will prepare candidates for the new CIA Challenge Exam version launching in June 2026.

Ed Clark, Becker Professional Education president, also remarks, “The CIA Challenge Exam Review is the product of months of collaboration with The IIA and we’re very pleased to continue supporting internal auditing practice and this group of professionals worldwide as they advance their careers.”
