CIA or CISA - educate_till_u_drop - 02-04-2010

Dear friends i have been working for a big four firm in pakistan.
But due to some reasons i had to leave the firm.
My experience is in ERP Oracle Financial.
But as i am not currently working in the said firm and in the same role, someone told me to make your qualification.
such as CIA or CISA.
Could any one help me on suggesting about doing the said qualifications.

Also guide me about the scope of both in Pakistan and Globally.

And which should i do first.

Rgards.

hi

dont worry if you have left the big 4 , go for CISA first & complete it , if you complete cisa then go for the ultimate destination CISM

now a days these both certificates are really demanding

thanks

Dear Scorpian
My plans are to switch back to big four again after CISA/ CISM INSHA ALLAH. Would this help me in pakistani big four firms.
Keeping in mind my current qualification is ACCA part 2 qualified plus big four Oracle ERP experience.

And please not I want to shift from Financial Audit to IS Audit in Big four consultancy. Would CISA help?

Waiting for your thoughtful reply.

Regards.

Then go for CIA, it is recognized globally as well as in the big4. It is also related to financial auditing
