Papildus informācija

The CISA Exam Prep provides readers with comprehensive coverage of the 2006 CISA certification exam objectives. Focused specifically on the material readers must know to score high on their CISA exams, this book features review questions at the end of each chapter, practice exams, exam alerts, important notes, and handy study tips. The book also features exclusive access to online practice questions, so readers can assess their strengths and weaknesses before they take their exams. 

Topic Information: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 elevated systems auditing to a legal requirement for publicly traded companies and many privately held companies are following suit due to increased security risks. The exam is a test of auditing concepts to be used as guidance for systems auditors and major changes were incorporated into the 2006 exam. The CISA Exam Prep provides the most comprehensive, accurate, and current coverage of these exam objectives. The CISA is now offered twice a year, every June and December, in 200 locations worldwide. Since its inception, approximately 45,000 IS auditors, accountants, security practitioners and other leaders in IT governance and assurance from around the world have earned the CISA designation.
