I have my cpa and cisa. I haven't done anything even remotely related to accounting since graduating 4 years ago, but literally every employer I've spoken to loved that I had the cpa.
If you have the ability/opportunity to get the cpa, I'd recommend it.
If you plan on staying in IT Audit wouldn’t the cpa be useless (unless you plan on making partner). If you plan on leaving that service line for something not IT, then it would be a good idea. I am in Risk with a CPA so dm me if you’d like
Adding a note based on the seniors response.
Definitely get it if you can/want to. Especially while your firm will cover most expenses

You don’t need both for public. If you want to stay in It audit or internal audit, just take the cisa it’s all you will need. If you want something to help you Pivot out of IT audit go for CPA.
I have my CPA and I’m working on my CIA now and aiming for the CISA right after and I work in risk advisory doing sox and IA and some IT. CPA is the most sought after is and the more highly held but CISA is a good one to have if you very much want to focus on IT audit but you’ll limit yourself a little bit
