Criteria for Becoming a CISA
CISA certification is a process of assessing individuals for their skills and judgment related to IS audit, control, and security. In addition to passing the exam, the candidate must submit evidence of five (5) years of experience in the professional practice of IS audit, control, or security. Substitution and waivers of such experience may also be obtained that will apply to this five-year experience requirement as follows
¡¡ A maximum of one year of experience may be substituted for
¡¡ One year of other audit experience
¡¡ One year of information systems experience and/or
¡¡ An associatefs degree (60 semester college credits or its
equivalent)
¡¡ Two of the required five years of experience may be substituted for a bachelorfs degree (120 semester college credits or its equivalent).
¡¡ One year of IS audit, control, or security experience may be substituted for each two years of experience as a full-time university instructor in a related field (e.g., computer science, accounting, IS auditing) with no maximum limitation to the two for one experience year substitution.
All related experience submitted as evidence for the certification as an IS auditor must have been gained within the ten years preceeding the application for certification or within five years from the date the candidate initially passed the exam. Individuals may choose to take and pass the CISA exam prior to meeting the experience requirements but will not be awarded the CISA designation until all the requirements are met. All experience will be independently verified with employers.
