I believe that you're doing CA or ACCA, right?

One can claim exemption of Part-IV of CIA if they have qualified either CA, ACCA, CISA or CMA. I'd recommend that you go for CIA only if you have qualified anyone of the above.

As regards the value, Qualified accountants who have also done CISA are getting preferential treatment these days when jobhunting because of CISA's relevance to IS security and Audit. As always, financial institutions are at the forefront of hiring CISA qualified accountants. Currently CIA is a bit more recognisable and may have more utility in Pakistan since many more companys have internal audit deptts than IS security or Risk management deppts.

You yourself will have to decide which line you would like to take in the future, ie Internal Audit or IS security/Audit and then base your exam decision on that, not on which qualification is more valuable, since all of them are.
