To ensure proper planning and coordination of auditor travel, scheduling, and related expenses, advance notice is required when scheduling Accreditation audits.

All Accreditation audits assigned within a given calendar year must be completed within that same calendar year. The TCIA Accreditation Department will notify the company’s designated Accreditation contact(s) via email at the end of the preceding year that an audit is required during the upcoming year.

Companies are expected to schedule their audit several months in advance to ensure availability and timely completion.

Audits conducted after the required calendar year will incur a late fee of $100 per month for each month overdue.

Requests for scheduling should be directed to your assigned auditor, and the Accreditation Department must be copied at accreditation@tcia.org.

If a company is unable to schedule its audit within the required year due to extenuating circumstances (e.g., serious illness or injury), the situation will be reviewed and addressed on an individual basis by the Accreditation Department.
