IT Audit and Assurance Standards
Our goal is to advance globally applicable standards that address the specialised nature of information technology (IT) audit and assurance and the skills necessary to perform such audits. ISACA's development and dissemination of the IT Audit and Assurance Standards are a cornerstone of our professional contribution to the audit and assurance community. The framework for the IT Audit and Assurance Standards provides multiple levels of guidance.

IS Control Professionals Standards
ISACA has long recognised that the specialised nature of information systems (IS) auditing, and the skills necessary to perform such audits, require standards that apply specifically to IS auditing. However, as the proportion of members from the IS Control Professional community grows, ISACA has perceived a need to produce further ethical guidance and standards for its non-audit membership.

ITAF: A Professional Practices Framework for IT Assurance
ITAF applies to individuals who act in the capacity of IT assurance professionals and are engaged in providing assurance over some components of IT systems, applications and infrastructure. However, we have taken care to design these standards, guidelines, and IT audit and assurance procedures in a manner that may also be useful, and provide benefits to, a wider audience, including users of IT audit and assurance reports.
