Overview
"Since 1978, the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) program, sponsored by ISACA®, has been the globally accepted standard of achievement among information systems (IS) audit, control and security professionals." (ISACA)
With a growing demand for professionals possessing IS audit, control and security skills, CISA has become the leading individual certification in auditing information security for individuals and organisations around the world. CISA certification signifies commitment to serving an organization and the IS audit, control and security industry with distinction.
Worldwide Recognition
A growing number of organisations are recommending that their information security audit staff become appropriately certified. The CISA training programme is based on universally accepted technical practices, and CISA is recognized worldwide, by all industries, as the preferred certification for Information Security audit, control and security professionals.
More than 55,000 professionals have earned the CISA since inception, so clearly many people agree: earning the CISA is a good career move.

Continuing Professional Education
There is a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) policy in respect of qualified CISA professionals. The goal of this continuing professional education policy is to ensure that all CISAs maintain an adequate level of current knowledge and proficiency in the field of information systems audit, control and security. CISAs who successfully comply with the "continuing professional education policy will be better trained to assess information systems and technology and provide leadership and value to their organizations."
The responsibility for setting the continuing professional education requirements rests with the CISA Certification Board. The Board oversees the continuing professional education process and requirements to ensure their applicability.
