The IMDDA also announced the opening of registration for the preparatory course for those planning to pursue the new CDDA exam.

Announced in November 2018, the CDDA is an internationally recognized designation developed to ISO 17024 and ANSI accreditation standards that rigorously tests for aptitude and expertise in due diligence. Each person who passes the exam becomes a Chartered Due Diligence Analyst (CDDA).

Registration for the first class of CDDA candidates extends through March 15, 2019.

Qualified applicants will sit for the 3-hour 45-minute, multiple choice CDDA test at locations around the globe beginning December 17 and now extended through March 31, 2019.

Previously, the time period to take this first CDDA exam ended February 15, 2019. Registration periods for subsequent CDDA tests will be announced.

CDDA preparatory course educates participants about key aspects of due diligence and provides a direct path to obtaining the CDDA designation. Classes will be available live once per year and online/on-demand so participants can revisit lessons and proceed at an individual pace.

Under development by the IMDDA for more than two years, the CDDA designation denotes a superior level of understanding of international due diligence practices and principles. Obtaining the CDDA distinguishes professionals as having achieved extensive background and experience in due diligence and possessing the skills to understand business, operational, accounting, financial and investment risks.

The CDDA will be the recognized standard in Operational and Investment Due Diligence around the globe.
