    Graduate Certificate in Internal Audit

    Go beyond basic accounting to understand financial reporting and how to evaluate a company’s internal financial or operational controls with the Graduate Certificate in Internal Audit. Take graduate courses in fraud and forensic accounting and IT auditing. Plus, a hands-on case study will equip you to successfully audit a company’s financial or operational systems.

    This 12 credit hour graduate certificate includes:

    • Option to carry these credits toward earning a Master of Science in Accounting degree by completing an additional 18 credit hours.
    • Option to carry these credits toward earning an MBA upon being accepted to the Kelley Indianapolis Evening MBA Program.
    • 160 continuing professional education (CPE) credit hours.
    • Six graduate certificate credit hours billed at the undergraduate tuition rate for students taking business electives through the Kelley Indianapolis Undergraduate Program.
    • Six graduate certificate hours can be completed through a one-weekend internal case course and internal audit internship.

    The Graduate Certificate in Internal Audit was created with the support of the Institute of Internal Auditors and an advisory board of internal audit professionals. These courses provide the academic foundation to successfully pass the Certified Internal Audit (CIA) exam.

    “When I learned about the GCIA Program at Kelley Indianapolis, I became interested in the role of internal auditors. These professionals thrive with investigative skills because they need to know everything about the company, from the balance sheets to the people.”
