What is ISA-COM?
Information Technology is exploding by the minute. This development
in technology poses new challenges.
ISA–COM is the exclusive portal to build and nurture a community
of Information System Auditors. The IT committee of The Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India has promoted this site in association
with TheManageMentor for the benefits of DISAs and students of the
ISA course.
IS Auditors and students of ISA course are spread across the length
and breadth of the country. Information systems audit is a highly
specialised functional area in which, even experts in traditional
auditing require academic and technical inputs, besides mentoring
and handholding.
Though members may physically reside thousands of miles away, Web
technology bring them all together.
The core idea of ISA –COM is to build a knowledge community
of DISAs by networking and through contemporary knowledge
The community will not build on its own and will not develop on
its own. It needs people behind the screen to ignite the activities,
nurture the community, and bring the members together. Somebody
should constantly work back stage to feed the community with relevant
knowledge and facilitate sharing of the same with others. Members
of the community need mentoring. Somebody to listen to, and clarify
their doubts.

1. Knowledge
a. Online practice test for ISA students

and DISAs
