Certified Fraud Examiner vs CISA for InfoTech Audit?

Post by David Gaynor »

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience in information technology auditing, and If so, what credential is more preferred. As someone with knowledge in IT Audit, I personally believe that CISA would be more preferred.

I have no experience in this particular field, but instead of asking for opinions I would browse through job postings that you would be interested in and see which certification comes up most often

By IT audit do you mean 'under the bonnet' testing of IT systems and controls, or "CAATs" as Big 4 would say? there will almost certainly be job adverts within Big 4 for that - they can't get enough as I understand it!

CISA for an IT audit, unless you want to do forensic audit for which CFE would be helpful.
