Is there some value in getting the CPA? I was thinking over getting it to maybe transition to a IA role where I could be more finance involved, is the switch possible when obtaining CPA/CIA? I majored in accounting and have a minor in MIS but have been in IT risk for 3 years (entire career)

CPA gives you more opportunities and is looked at in a higher standard compared to the CPA. I have my CPA and in the process of getting my CIA and so many people ask me why I bother since I have my CPA but I like controls testing

Definitely is good to have a certification. CIA is definitely easier than CPA in my experience but the longer you wait to get CPA the harder it’ll be

If you plan on staying in IT Audit, it’s a nice to have. If you are considering transitioning into something finance/accounting oriented, then yes it’s definitely worth getting. While it is valued and a significant accomplishment to set your goals on, it’s a significant investment so something to think about.

I would not get a CIA unless you are sure you can tolerate controls testing for the rest of your career

Thanks for everyone’s input! I guess my main question is because I see myself maybe doing a sort of blend between IT audit and finance (maybe a director of IA?) but I want to make sure that if I pursue another cert especially the CPA that it’ll be worth it. I like IT audit but I do feel like I need some more numbers/business at what I do

Yeah I noticed I forgot to mention I already have my CISA, so I’m wondering if the extra cert is really worth it. Currently in PA but would it be possible to transition into a general internal audit where I could do business process controls and ITGC when I have only done the latter?
