Anyone out there have CISA certification? What skill do you pair it with? I saw CPA CISA is good - I’m not a CPA but am in Another compliance area but also heavy with data and automated controls. Seems easy enough to get one… but wondering if/how you’ve found it useful in marketing yourself. Thanks!

I passed the exam without studying..

No one has ever asked me about it, I think it’s just an extra bullet point on my resume. Proof im committed to learning, but overall kind of pointless

Good if you want to take screenshots, otherwise ignore.

I’ve heard the CISA is pointless. Sure there’s probably some good knowledge there but as EY5 can attest, you can pass without studying

Easier than CRISC??

Anyone who took CISA - any tips on studying? I am a horrible test taker so need any type of advice.

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
