Hi All,

Posting this query to know that if there is a scope for Information Security Audit for Chartered Accountants including ISO 27001 Audit, implementation of ISO , ISMS and QMS?

I am also pursuing ISO 27001 Lead Auditor course and having Internal Audit Background.
Is there a career in this audit or only for those who have IT background?

There are ample opportunities for CAs / candidates with auditing background, after CISA gaining certification. 

I am CA CISA with wide experience in Australia. Looking for an associate to undertake IT security jobs in Indi. Pls reply

Yes, information security audit is a suitable career for a Chartered Accountant. CAs already have strong knowledge of risk, compliance, and controls, which are key in auditing information systems. By gaining certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, they can expand their expertise to information security, making them valuable for organizations that need both financial and IT compliance assurance.
