How to Maintain the CISA

CISA stands for Certified Information Systems Auditor. To earn CISA certification, you must have at least five years of experience in information system control, IT auditing or information technology system control. You must agree to the ISACA, or Information Systems Audit and Control Association, code of ethics and submit an application to take the CISA exam. If the application is approved, you must pass the CISA exam. After passing the exam, you must maintain their certification. Maintaining the CISA certification is crucial for those who rely on those credentials to be qualified to work in IT auditing.
