Chapter Achievement Program Update
|
|
The TCIIA currently holds Sapphire status in the IIA's Chapter Achievement Program (CAP). Below is an update on the CAP points earned by the Chapter for the current 2017-2018 fiscal year, as of 12/31/2017.
|
 |
|
A chapter must earn the minimum CAP points in each category listed above to qualify for an achievement level.
Then, 685 points = Bronze, 1,060 points = Silver, 1,560 = Gold
Chapters receiving Gold 10 of 11 consecutive years are Platinum. If a chapter earns Platinum for 10 consecutive years, they are Ruby. Chapters earning Ruby for 5 consecutive years are Sapphire.
How can you help our chapter earn CAP points?
1. Attend TCIIA events and programs.
2. Earn an IIA certification.
3. Recruit new members.
4. Tell us about your speaking engagements.
5. Submit internal audit-related articles for publication to "Internal Auditor" magazine.
