INTOSAI Development Initiative – Professional Education for SAI Auditors (PESA)

Welcome to PESA Assessment Exams. For more information about PESA please visit the IDI website.

Scheduling

Exam appointments should be made in advance of the day you wish to test, subject to availability. You can schedule and pay for your exam either online or by telephone.

The exam/appointment testing time varies per exam and reflects the total appointment time, including a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), exam time, or other screens.

If you are a candidate who has been notified that you have no access to a test centre, you should book a computer-based exam using the access code provided by IDI.

To schedule your PESA assessment exams, log in via the IDI Learning Management System (LMS) and follow these instructions.

Payment

All exam payments must be made directly to Pearson. IDI does not issue invoices. Candidates can pay using a debit or credit card, or by redeeming a voucher. Vouchers may be purchased by SAIs and distributed to SAI auditors. For more information or to purchase vouchers, please visit the IDI-Pearson Voucher Store.

If you experience any payment-related issues, please contact us by phone or email. Be sure to include your Pearson profile reference (email address, phone number, or candidate ID), the issuing country, the last four digits of your card, and any error messages you received. This will help us resolve your issue more efficiently.

For voucher-related inquiries, email us at pearsonvuevoucherstore@pearson.com. You can expect an initial response within 24 business hours.

Re-scheduling

PESA candidates may reschedule their exam (subject to availability) at no additional cost at least 72 hours before they are due to take the assessment exam. Failure to do so will result in the candidate losing their fee.
