The formula that works for my was in four months before the test, read peter's book 2 times then read 3 or 4 times the ISACA material, LOTS's of test examples and relax 1 week before the exam, just review your book'sSo, this book was what I needed. Something not too long-winded, with a good table of contents and index, concise but comprehensive.This book was a great help. Read this book twice before you take the exam. You will notice all the concept for the exam are in this book.The problem is security is moving so fast that there isn't a printed book or a tested cetification that is current enough to help us secure out enterprise assets and critical information. This book could receive 4 stars, but cybersecurity and cyber crime has disrupted ALL security certifications. I will watch with interest to see how these manuals will need to change based on the non reported security breaches. The information is necessary, the writers did a good job. But the needed skill sets and training to addresses our most critical threats are not in the books or the tests. I am learning directly from the security conferences, webinars, and up to the second information daily. Bottom line, I think this certification will be required even if it is not current to our threats. We will all need this just like a college degree.My research surrounding competing products was well worth the time. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for this exact solution.Pretty much covers everything required for CISA for working people. Would suggest paperback.Je n'ai pas encore passe l'examen donc je ne peux pas me prononcer sur la qualite des informations qu'il contient.Good service and quick delivery by Amazon. Would recommend the book to anyone even slightly inclined towards a career in IT Auditing.

INTRODUCTION The dizzying pace of information systems innovation has made vast expanses of information available to organizations and the public. Often, design flaws and technical vulnerabilities bring unintended consequences, often in the form of information theft and disclosure. The result: a patchwork of laws, regulations, and standards such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the European Data Protection Directive, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, PIPEDA, and scores of U.S. state laws requiring public disclosure of security breaches involving private information. Through these, organizations are either required or incentivized to perform their own internal audits or undergo external audits that measure compliance in order to avoid penalties, sanctions, and embarrassing news headlines. These developments continue to drive demand for IT security professionals and IS auditors. These highly sought professionals play a crucial role in the development of better compliance programs and reduced risk. The Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification, established in 1978, is indisputably the leading certification for IS auditing. Demand for the CISA certification has grown so much that the once-per-year certification exam was changed to twice per year in 2005, and is now offered three times each year. CISA is also one of the few certifications formally approved by the U.S. Department of Defense in its Information Assurance Technical category (DoD 8570.01-M). In 2009, SC Magazine named CISA the best professional certification program. In 2016, there were over 100,000 professionals holding the certification. IS auditing is not a bubble or a flash in the pan. The CISA certification is the gold standard certification for professionals who work in this domain. Purpose of This Book Let’s get the obvious out of the way: this is a comprehensive study guide for the IT or audit professional who needs a serious reference for individual or group-led study for the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification. The majority of the content in this book contains the technical information that CISA candidates are required to know. This book is also a reference for aspiring and practicing IS auditors. The content that is required to pass the CISA exam is the same content that practicing auditors need to be familiar with in their day-to-day work. This book is an ideal CISA exam study guide as well as a desk reference for those who have already earned their CISA certification. This book is also invaluable for security and business professionals who are required to undergo external audits from audit firms and examinations from regulators. Readers will gain considerable insight into the practices and methods used by auditors; this helps not only in internal audit operations but also to better understand external auditors and how they work. This book is an excellent guide for someone exploring the IS audit profession. The study chapters explain all of the relevant technologies and audit procedures, and the appendices explain process frameworks and the practical side of professional audits. This is useful for those readers who may wonder what the IS audit profession is all about. Notes on the Third Edition ISACA has historically recalibrated the contents of its certifications every five years. In late 2015, ISACA announced that it would update the CISA job practice (the basis for the exam and the requirements to earn the certification), effective in the June 2016 examination. In order to keep this book up to date, I contacted Tim Green at McGraw-Hill so that we might develop a plan for the third edition of this book as quickly as possible. This book is the result of that effort. The new CISA job practice information was made available in late December 2015. We began work at that time to update the second edition manuscript. The result is this book, which has been updated to reflect all of the changes in the CISA job practice, as well as changes in audit practices, information security, and information technology since the second edition was published. Changes to the CISA Job Practice Table 1 illustrates the old and new CISA job practices and their relation to chapters in this book. The A in CISA receives more emphasis. Within each domain, the CISA job practice contains many Knowledge Statements and Task Statements. These Knowledge Statements and Task Statements have undergone significant changes in their wording, but often the underlying meanings are similar to the old CISA job practice. Whether you have worked for several years in the field of information systems auditing or have just recently been introduced to the world of controls, assurance, and security, don’t underestimate the hard work and dedication required to obtain and maintain CISA certification. Although ambition and motivation are required, the rewards can far exceed the effort. You probably never imagined you would find yourself working in the world of auditing or looking to obtain a professional auditing certification. Perhaps the increase in legislative or regulatory requirements for information system security led to your introduction to this field. Or possibly you have noticed that CISA-related career options are increasing exponentially and you have decided to get ahead of the curve. You aren’t alone: in the past 35 years, over 100,000 professionals worldwide reached the same conclusion and have earned the well-respected CISA certification. In 2009, SC Magazine named the CISA certification winner of the Best Professional Certification Program, and in 2014 it was a finalist for the same award. Welcome to the journey and the amazing opportunities that await you. I have put together this information to help you further understand the commitment needed, prepare for the exam, and maintain your certification. Not only is it my wish to see you pass the exam with flying colors, but I also provide you with the information and resources to maintain your certification and to proudly represent yourself and the professional world of information system (IS) auditing with your new credentials. ISACA (formerly known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association) is a recognized leader in the areas of control, assurance, and IT governance. Formed in 1967, this nonprofit organization represents more than 140,000 professionals in more than 180 countries. ISACA administers several exam certifications, including the CISA, the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), the Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC), and the Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) certifications. If you’re new to ISACA, I recommend that you tour the website ( www.isaca.org) and become familiar with the guides and resources available. In addition, if you’re near one of the 213 local ISACA chapters in 90 countries, consider taking part in the activities and even reaching out to the chapter board for information on local meetings, training days, conferences, or study sessions. You may be able to meet other IS auditors who can give you additional insight into the CISA certification and the audit profession. The CISA certification was established in 1978 and primarily focuses on audit, controls, assurance, and security. It certifies the individual’s knowledge of testing and documenting IS controls and his or her ability to conduct formal IS audits. Organizations seek out qualified personnel for assistance with developing and maintaining strong control environments. A CISA-certified individual is a great candidate for this. In addition, obtaining your CISA certification demonstrates to current and potential employers your willingness and commitment to improve your knowledge and skills in information systems auditing. DoD Directive 8570 mandates that those personnel performing information assurance activities within the agency are certified with a commercial accreditation approved by the DoD. Regardless of your current position, demonstrating knowledge and experience in the areas of IT controls, audit, assurance, and security can expand your career options. To keep your CISA certification, you are required to take at least 20 continuing education hours each year (120 hours in three years) and pay annual maintenance fees. Experience can be in any of the job content areas, but must be verified. A passing score is valid for up to five years, after which the score is void. An application must be received within five years of passing the exam. Experience Requirements To qualify for CISA certification, you must have completed the equivalent of five years’ total work experience. These five years can take many forms, with several substitutions available. Additional details on the minimum certification requirements, substitution options, and various examples are discussed next. NOTE Although it is not recommended, a CISA candidate can take the exam before completing any work experience directly related to IS auditing. As long as the candidate passes the exam and the work experience requirements are filled within five years of the exam date and within ten years from application for certification, the candidate is eligible for certification. Direct Work Experience You are required to have a minimum of two years’ work experience in the field of IS audit, controls, or security. All work experience must be completed within the ten-year period before completing the certification application or within five years from the date of initially passing the CISA exam. You will need to complete a separate Verification of Work Experience form for each segment of experience. There is only one exception to this minimum two-year direct work experience requirement: if you are a full-time instructor. This option is discussed in the next section. Transcripts or a letter confirming degree status will need to be sent from the university to obtain an experience waiver. As noted earlier, there is only one exception to the experience requirements. Should you have experience as a full-time university instructor in a related field (that is, information security, computer science, or accounting), each two years of your experience can be substituted for one year of required direct work experience, without limitation. Here is an example CISA candidate whose experience and education are considered for CISA certification: Jane Doe graduated in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. She spent five years working for an accounting firm conducting non-IS audits, and in January 2000, she began conducting IS audits full time.
