SOX Cost Savings with
Control Self Assessments
 A
client's Sarbanes-Oxley IT audit experience evolved from
performing 100% on-site IT audits at each location to a
reduced cost risk-based evaluation approach. The
client's implementation of common key controls at each
location reduced the overall cost of compliance, made it
possible to implement Control Self Assessments (CSAs)
for monitoring and evaluation for the lines of business
that had lower
risk.

CISA Review Course
 The CISA Review Course is a three-day
seminar that focuses exclusively on the essential areas
covered in the CISA exam. The review course covers the
core sections and a series of sample exam questions that
provides participants with a "feel" of the format and
the types of questions encountered on the CISA exam. The
correct answers of each question are also reviewed for a
better understanding of expectations of the ISACA
Certification Board.

intensive course is an ideal way to prepare for the
exam. Participants gain valuable experience reviewing
these core sections and answering sample exam questions
with an experienced instructor while strengthening their
skills and building confidence.

News from ISACA
International
CISA and CISM Scoring
Change
ISACA's CISA and CISM certification
boards recently approved changing the way exams are
scored. To alleviate confusion found with the previous
scoring method and to provide greater clarity, ISACA
will use a 200-800 point scale with a passing point of
450 beginning with the June 2007 exams. Using a 200-800
scale will increase the range of scores and eliminate
the perception that the score is a percentage. This
scoring method is used by several testing organizations,
including the well respected SAT and GRE
exams.
CISA and
CISM Exam Results
The results of
the December 2006 exam will be released in early
February. Exam candidates
will receive an e-mail result only if they consented to
item 25 on the registration form and the exam fee has
been paid in full. Keep your record
updated to ensure that current e-mail and postal
addresses are available for result correspondence. To
prevent the e-mail result notification from being
directed to a spam folder, candidates should add
certification@isaca.org to
their address book, white list or safe-senders
list. To ensure the confidentiality of scores, exam
results will not be reported by telephone or
fax.
Once the exam
results have been released, processing time for the
hundreds of applications that will be received in the
certification department is six to eight weeks. If you passed the
exam in June 2006 or earlier send your application as
soon as possible to beat the rush.
Exam Candidates
Exam candidates
can view or print a copy of the
 CISA or
CISM Bulletin of Information for the June 2007 exams at
www.isaca.org/cisaboi and
www.isaca.org/cismboi.
