Why would CPA be valuable if you are in IT audit? Do you plan on moving to a role where it would be needed? If so, then yes not having it could really hinder your career growth/opportunities available.

Do you plan to lead SOC1 or other type engagements, or do you plan to limit yourself (and upward career potential) to non-engagement lead roles (like assisting core audit teams, etc)? Your answer to these questions should give you some clarity
