CISA® Exam Boot Camp Spring 2011

In this era of corporate governance and accountability, the need to link sound corporate governance with effective internal control has never been greater. IT governance has worked its way onto the agenda of boards and executives as an item of interest and concern within the broader scope of corporate governance.

With the continual increase in system complexity, organizations are looking to individuals who have the proven experience and knowledge to ensure that an organization's information technology and business systems are adequately assessed, controlled and protected. Certified Information Systems Auditors (CISAs) have the proven ability to perform reviews in accordance with globally accepted standards and guidelines to ensure that the organization’s information technology and business systems are adequately controlled, monitored and assessed.

With more than 95,000 members in more than 75 countries, ISACA (www.isaca.org and www.isaca.be) is a recognized global leader in IT governance, control and assurance. ISACA develops globally applicable information systems auditing and control standards and administers the internationally respected CISA designations.
