Formal audit background for the penetration tester?

[lister () lihim org]

Has anyone transitioned from a purely technical background in InfoSec to the Audit field?

What trends are emerging with increased regulatory scrutiny on the rise.  Govt/PCI requirements.

As I am not familiar with the CISA certification or the audit field of work, I'm not sure
if this would be a step backward or beneficial to a penetration tester or
someone with purely technical skills in InfoSec.

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT 
and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
