“ISACA is a career partner for professionals at every level of their careers, including those just getting started or those looking to switch careers,” said Shannon Donahue, Senior Vice President of Publishing at ISACA. “IT audit is truly a rewarding career field with incredible opportunity.

The ISACA IT Audit Fundamentals Certificate does not require any prior experience and fills this gap. The certificate is a solid first step that sets early auditors apart in the talent search and puts them on a path to a rewarding career.”

The IT Audit Fundamentals Certificate helps prepare candidates for these career opportunities by demonstrating foundational-level knowledge. The certificate’s content areas include performing an audit, IT general controls, and specific audit areas such as networking, operating systems, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the internet of things (IoT).
