ISACA Model Curriculum for IS Audit and Control
The ISACA Model Curriculum for IS Audit and Control was developed for use in universities and colleges by a task force of 11 academics and practicing professionals from 11 countries on 5 continents. It is based on the skills needed by businesses to ensure their information systems are adequately governed, controlled and audited. The model curriculum is interdisciplinary, a format encouraged by most international accrediting bodies. The curriculum outlines the academic training needed to prepare candidates for entry-level positions in IS assurance. It also provides support for curriculum development and evolution and delves into research on current university offerings in the field.
Schools that have had their programs reviewed by ISACA and have been found to be in alignment with the model curriculum are eligible to be listed on our web site. This helps students interested in the IS assurance profession find schools which offer the programs they need. It also helps colleges and universities market their programs to organizations looking to recruit interested and qualified students. Graduates of these programs qualify for one year work experience toward the Certified Information Systems Auditor™ (CISA®) designation. See www.isaca.org/cisa for complete details on the CISA certification program.
