Welcome to Trainee IS Auditor Scheme of ISACA Mumbai Chapter!

Background and Need:
ISACA Mumbai Chapter has been regularly receiving requests from many of its members, who are undergoing the CISA certifications and also from many CISA exam passers, for help in getting their CISA certifications. Many have expressed their inability to get practical work related experience and many have approached the Chapter office with a request to help them to solve this issue. There have also been cases, where the newly passed CISA exam passers have approached the Chapter, with request for help in executing carrying out the assignments, which they would have got through their own reference.

On the other side, when this point was discussed with some Members of the Chapter, they willingly expressed their desire to help these aspirants in achieving their objectives. These members of the Chapter have expressed their willingness and desire to share their experience with the other members.
