Auditing for Information Systems Certificate
The growth in information technology capabilities and the effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other legislation are driving demand for information technology auditors in public, private, non¬profit and government sectors. The objective of this program is to prepare the student for entry positions in the IT audit field and for certification as an information systems auditor.
While open to all majors, the target audience is the BTA or IS major who is also interested in the accounting and auditing field, and the ECON or FIEC major who is completing the Accounting Certificate. The interdisciplinary combination of information technology knowledge and accounting and auditing skills will provide the student a competitive advantage in this growing field upon their graduation.
