09 January 2011 Hello Friends,

I am a chartered accountant and practicing at present. I have received a good offer from aboard for working as a finance controller. I have made my mind to accept it. But I am a little confused. Actually This company wants me to do CISA. I suggest the company that I should do DISA first. Am I right in my suggestion. What is the difference between CISA and DISA. Actually Degree or diploma is not important for me and company wants me that I should have working knowledge of system audit as it is starting a new company for info system audit. I just want to know whether DISA has ability to give me the working knowledge of information system Audit or I should do CISA.

Thanks in Advance
Abbas
