Bowman is right about the study material. One might also try out books from indian writers like Rao which help one out in preparation for the exam, although i myself prepared by reading from the manual, the standards and the CD, alongwith taking a few classes held by the CISA Karachi chapter.

CISA is a very useful complimentary qualification to have, ie. it is the specialization in an area of audit which is seeing rapid growth and technological advancements these days. Companies in Pakistan which have a medium to large IT environment have begun to realise the need to have information security specialists who can critically identify, analyse and recommend solutions to IS threats affecting both the physical and logical IS infrastructure.

The requirements for CISA are not stringent. Anybody can sit in its exam after due preparation. But for its membership, ISACA requires atleast 5 years of experience in IS audit environement. Although the exam consists of MCQ type questions, but it is quite difficult and the minimum passing criteria is set at 75%. I would recommend atleast 5-6 months of proper preparation before sitting in the CISA exam.

I have sent also an email to Hussein Haji, the conveynor of the CISA Pakistan chapter, who might join this forum and will answer to your queries in detail.
