ISACA model curricula 2004

Abstract

Part of the mission of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) is to improve the educational background of its members and potential members. In 1998, ISACA released the “Model Curricula for Information Systems Auditing at the Undergraduate and Graduate Levels” and in 2000 a task force was created to update the Model. The task force is composed of academics and professional IS auditors representing 11 countries and 5 continents. This paper reports on the efforts of this task force to create a new model that will be easier for universities around the globe to implement into their curricula and that will create a method for adopting universities to be recognized by ISACA. It describes the components of the model and the adoption procedures that should be considered by interested universities
