CPE requirements

Acceptable CPE subjects for CGAP CPE

While all FunCPE courses meet the program development criteria, CGAPs must still select appropriate subject material for CE courses. The following general subjects are acceptable for CGAPs:

• Standards and control/risk models
• Government auditing practice
• Government auditing methodologies & skills
• Government auditing environment
.

FunCPE course Government Auditing Standards (#1059N) meets the subject matter requirements.  This course:

• Uses free online material (Yellow Book)
• Offers 10 CPE hours for $40
• Can be started immediately

Exception to the acceptable CPE subjects for CGAP CPE

CIAs who also hold an IIA specialty designation, such as:

• Certification in Control Self-Assessment (CCSA),
• Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP), or
• Certified Financial Services Auditor (CFSA)

will satisfy the CPE reporting requirement of all specialty programs by reporting the appropriate CPE hours for the CIA designation.  In other words, if you also hold a CIA designation, you only have to meet the CPE requirements for CIAs, not CGAP.   Certified Internal Audit CPE subject areas are much broader and allow for a larger course selection.
