RE: Tips for CISA

[Boubacar Fadiga <boubacar_fadiga () yahoo fr>]

Hi there,

As you don't have audit experience,
I would suggest that you attend a CISA preparation course
as early as possible! This will guide you on filling your gaps.

For me getting the "audit mindset"
is clearly more important than having the IT technical skills.

If you had an audit experience, I would have say,
like Cathie, "ok read the CISA review book and fix your audit knowledge".

I truly believe that alone and without an audit experience
it will be very difficult for you to make it, sorry.

Believe me take that course.

Hope this helps.

Boubacar, Cisa
