The Minnesota ISACA Chapter is proud to sponsor the Spring 2010 CISA Review Course. The course provides a comprehensive review of the roles and responsibilities of an Information Technology Auditor. It not only prepares students for passing the CISA examination, but also offers valuable training experience for newer Information Technology Auditors. The instructors are practicing professionals representing prominent companies in the Twin Cities business community. These individuals will present the examination content needed to succeed, balanced with their real life experiences. The CISA Review Manual (may be purchased from ISACA as noted below) will be used as a text for the course, and each session will cover a section from the manual.
