U have to do either ISA or CISA. ISA is conducted by ICAI and CISA is an international body. If u qualify in any of these exams, then ur eligible to pursue ur career in systems audit. CISA is a bit costly.

Great question about System Audit careers! Here’s a quick rundown:
### Qualifications for System Audit (apart from CA):
* **ISA (Information Systems Auditor)** — conducted by ICAI. It’s well-recognized in India, especially for CA professionals aiming for system audit roles.
* **CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor)** — offered by ISACA, an international certification. It’s highly respected globally but can be a bit expensive.
### Do you need software testing or programming courses?
* Not strictly necessary but having some understanding of IT concepts, programming basics, or software testing can be helpful.
* The focus of system audit is more on **IT controls, information security, risk assessment**, and **compliance**, rather than coding itself.
### Which is better from a job perspective?
* Both **ISA** and **CISA** are recognized and valuable.
* ISA is more popular among Indian CA firms and clients.
* CISA is great if you want global recognition or work with multinational clients.
