CISA Certification
The Certified Information Systems Auditor® (CISA®) program is designed to assess and certify individuals in the IS audit, control and security profession who demonstrate exceptional skill and judgment. CISA has grown to be globally recognized and adopted worldwide as a symbol of achievement. More than 44,000 professionals have earned the CISA certification since inception. As Sarbanes-Oxley Act becomes effective in the United States, the value of CISA has increased dramatically due to the increasing demand for IS audit skills and knowledge in external audits, internal audits and IT governance.
