Major ISACA certifications such as CISA, CISM and CRISC currently require at least 20 CPE hours each calendar year and 120 CPE hours over a three-year reporting period.
The difference between ISACA CPE: 20 Annually and 120 Over 3 Years
The practical difference is the governing definition and where the credit is accepted. Major ISACA certifications such as CISA, CISM and CRISC currently require at least 20 CPE hours each calendar year and 120 CPE hours over a three-year reporting period.
Do not assume automatic conversion
Keep the original unit or credit label from the completion record. Convert only when the receiving licensing board or certification program tells you how it treats the activity.
What to record
Save the provider, activity title, date, original credit unit, amount, category, certificate, and the authority rule you relied on. That makes later audits and multi-credential use easier to verify.
Sources and verification
ISACA certification maintenance pages state a 20-CPE annual minimum and 120 CPEs over three years for major credentials such as CISA, CISM and CRISC.
