ACCOUNTING Majors — the SIM club is inviting you to the meeting on Nov. 21st.
ISACA will be presenting on Nov. 21st., AH 270 at 6pm
The Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) will present at SIM Club on Tue. Nov. 21st. ISACA is the organization that confers the well-regarded Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and the CSX Cybersecurity certifications.
The BIS program has an interesting relationship with ISACA in two ways:
1. ISACA has recognized the BIS/Accounting double major program in that graduates from this double degree receive one year off of the CISA-required practical experience requirement.
2. The new BA480 (Information Security), offered in Spring 2018, is designed so that people who successfully complete that course should be able to sit for the CSX fundamentals certification.
