President’s Message
Members –
Hello everyone, it’s just about spring time and that means my term as your president is almost
up; so we will need a new president along with some more volunteers to cover the officer
positions. We have some new guidelines this year, somewhat different from the way we’ve done
them in the past. This year we are asking to get confirmation from those that you nominate,
before you put them up for nomination. This would go a long way in smoothing over the
nominating process. I’ve tried to get a few things accomplished this year, such as the share point
site, which should be operational this summer. I want to say just a few words as to how
rewarding it has been for me to experience being your fearless leader. Everyone has gone out
of their way to make my tenor as enjoyable as possible. Special thanks goes out to Tina
Rukgaber, who was a big help behind the scenes, she worked hard to make it all come
together…thank you Tina. If anyone has considered volunteering I can tell you that there is no
better way to gain professional and leadership knowledge not to mention the networking
opportunities.
Thank you,
Pam LaGrange,
President, Heartland-Iowa IIA

Planning for Changes from the IIA
My message to all the chapter members this month is to commit yourself to your professional
development in 2012. For those who have yet to pass the CIA exam, now is the perfect time to get
Institute of Internal Auditors
Heartland-Iowa Chapter
February 2012
started. You have most of 2012 ahead of you, and I know with the right study plan you can pass all parts
of the CIA before the year's end. For those of you, who are already CIAs, consider completing your
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) early this year so you won't be rushing at the end of December.
With 2012 came some changes to both the CIA exam and the reporting of Continuing Professional
Education for those already certified. Beginning January 1, 2012, The IIA reduced the number of nonscored questions on the CIA exam from 20 to 10, and as a result, the total questions (scored and nonscored) were reduced from 100 to 90. This change has no impact on the scoring of the exam as the nonscored questions are used to pre-test items and are not counted in the final score.
Furthermore, the total time allowed to complete the CIA exam has been reduced from 3 hours to 2 hours
and 30 minutes. The reduction is a result of (1) reducing the number of questions to answer and (2) The
IIA's removal of the tutorial. The tutorial is now available on The IIA website in all languages in which the
exam is offered. As a CIA candidate, complete 20-question quizzes in 30 minutes so you will be prepared
to appropriately budget your time on the actual exam.
Using the Gleim CIA Review System, these changes shouldn't affect you because you will have plenty of
practice answering multiple-choice questions in an exam-like environment. With Gleim, you also receive
access to a Personal Counselor who can provide assistance with your study plan and ensure you are
able to manage your time effectively on exam day!
Chapter members who are already CIAs should be aware of the changes to CPE reporting. In late 2011,
The IIA's Global Board approved the implementation of several key changes to the CPE reporting
process. These changes became effective January 1, 2012, and will affect the CPE requirements, as well
as the reporting period and process. Certified professionals will now report their CPE every year versus
every other year. The IIA also changed the reporting date from May 31 to December 31.
As an active CIA, you will need to report 40 hours of CPE every year. Plan to complete 4 hours a month
and you will avoid cramming lots of continuing education hours into the final months of 2012.
I would like to hear from you. How was your exam experience? Do you have any tips or advice to provide
to fellow exam takers? What advantages of being certified have you experienced? Email Gleim at
iiachapters@gleim.com <mailto:iiachapters@gleim.com?subject=Gleim:%20IIA%20Chapter%20News>
with your questions.
Remember, as a Heartland-Iowa Chapter member, you will receive a discount on Gleim material. Gleim
has been helping CIA candidates pass the CIA exam since 1980.
