It is still considerd to be a specialisation degree in Pakistan, so most CIAs in Pakistan would have a CA to go with,.. or for that matter an accountancy firm articles and experience. I cannot say anything on its stand alone value (especially for a fresh graduate)

Yes, as Pracs said that its still considered a specialisation qualification, although i've observed that there seems to be some sort of realisation for it in among the multinationals. Like a friend who works in Siemens was "encouraged" (read ordered) to do CIA if he wanted to go higher up on the corporate ladder of that company.

Dear Mr. Khawar
I appreciate ur efforts for CIA qualification. But as far as future is concern , alone CIA is not enough for better job..IT does not mean CIA it self has no values in market....actually I m in a banking sector wat i heared.......There is only two CIAs in Habib Bank ..they respect CIA/CISA qualifcation due to Aghga Khan descrimination becoz its representative are their person.....Agha Khan hospital have CIAs....tapal tea ..tehy prefer CIAs...Orix Leasing com....etc..this qualifaction is being developed & have good future becoz there is no internal audit certification in pakistan ... I thing , mostly empolyer need CISA /CIA qualified person with job experience in audit or IS audit...but they do not find employee as per their requirement.....It is better do CIA , it is very short course....plus join any firm for ue practice where u should try to learn accounting system & cycle with IS audit ...then after u will bae absorbed eaily in the organization on having 1-2 yrs exp. with CIA...but do not stop after CIA try to do ACCA/CISA after that, the best combination for good future....Why u should not stop after CIA, becoz no. of students(CA-inter or finalist) dishearted by ICAP system are in the market who can do the same job better then a CIA can do...they are equal competetive qualification as far as Internal Audit is concern.............
