Hi Kivuva,
 
My understanding, although of course open to correction, is that IT
Systems Auditors are essentially certified auditors with specialist
training and skills to audit "through" and "around" IT systems. I would
envisage someone with an auditing qualification backed up with a
supplementary qualification is systems auditing but at the end of the
day this person is an AUDITOR. In addition the training for today's
certified auditors already includes systems audit as a subject. So the
key skill is auditing, supplemented by systems knowledge. If this is the
case then these professionals are already covered under statutory
provisions.
