I currently work in a Chief Internal Auditor role. I want to get a certification focused on IT audit both for knowledge, gaining credibility with my stakeholders in the IT audit space, and for when I look for a new role. I don’t have / won’t be able to get sufficient IT audit experience for the CISA designation at this stage. What designations, courses, or other options would you suggest?

If you're the Chief Internal Auditor, wouldn't you be over the IT audit function?

I do oversee IT audit. I can probably count a portion of my time that is dedicated to oversight over IT audit, but I’m not executing testing or anything so I’m not sure it really meets the guidelines.

I have some experience in business continuity, IT governance, and confidentiality audits that should count, but only for maybe 6 months. Still not certain I can make the 2 years I’d need after exemptions given my current role. I’ve done some tasks in ERM and risk assessments years ago relating to cybersecurity, but not really auditing it.

I mean, it's not auditing in each of the areas it's just experience in each of the areas, of which audit is one.

I'm just saying that if you go through these areas, I would think that you could scrape together 2 years of experience out of the past 9 years or so.

Thanks, EY1. I think I can cobble together about 1 year and 10 months this way through relevant non-audit experience I’ve had in pieces over time, and I will be able to get the rest within the next year.

For CISA, you can use one year of financial audit experience. Also, if you oversee IT audit I’m pretty sure that counts as experience too.

Thanks, planning to use the waivers for education (seems that they don’t care about field of study) giving me 2 years off and for 1 year of general audit work.

The overseeing IT audit should count in theory, but doesn’t map well to the tasks except for some of the more detailed time I spend reviewing or reworking things. Seems based on EY1’s comment and further reading that I should be able to make up the small amount of extra time I’m missing within the next year.

CISA is really what needed, you can study and pass the exam.

Are you suggesting doing the exam even if I can’t get the experience just for the knowledge then?
