Certified Information System Auditor (CISA)
The mark of excellence for a professional certification program is the value and recognition it bestows on the individual who achieves it. Since 1978, the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA®) program has been the globally accepted standard of achievement in the IS audit, control and security field. Earning the CISA designation helps assure a positive reputation as a qualified IS audit, control and/or security professional, and because the CISA program certifies individuals who demonstrate proficiency in today's most sought-after skills, employers prefer to hire and retain those who achieve and maintain their designation.

opinion was borne out by a recent survey conducted by Foote Partners, which showed that CISAs received the highest salary bonus among the 39 technical skills certification programs studied. Those possessing the CISA certification received a median 10 percent bonus (as a percent of base salary), the highest bonus amount attributed to a certification. Overall, the average bonus for all certifications tracked during the same time period was only 6.8 percent.

More than 10,000 individuals have registered for the CISA exam in 2002, so clearly many people agree: earning the CISA is a good career move.
