	Please let me know what are prospects of DISA, for a practising CA. I am a practising CA, and wanna go for DISA....... Is it worthfulll or should I go for Law. Also, a confirmation..... is there anything like CISA can only audit Bank Info system??

DISA is the post graduation course offred by the ICAI and it is well known course in the field of Bank audit. There is no such mandation that for bank audit any FCA are eligible for that, but DISA's are preferred. As far as CISA is concerned, it is mandatory course to obtain Information system audit for Banks, Stcok Brokers, etc. This course is offered by ISACA. Now RBI is thinking to make DISA's eligibility for appointment of IS audit.
