<div dir="ltr">Good discussion and good points.<div><br></div><div>Someone recently posted something on social media - "the moment you stop learning after graduation, that's the beginning of being uneducated". </div><div>Learning is continuous and should never stop. As ISACA like other professional bodies, we do put alot of emphasis on continuous education in form of CPEs and peer to peer knowledge sharing which certified members need to earn.</div><div><br></div><div>I totally agree that we do have certified IT auditors who have no idea of various technologies available in the market today. They probably got certified 10+ years ago and rely on the very same technologies that were used then.</div><div><br></div><div>If you search this list, I recently posted a message putting such people on notice. Actually we do purge them from our list of certified members. I would ask the industry to support us by crosschecking with relevant professional bodies on someone's professional standing.</div><div><br></div><div>Last - As long as I am a the helm of ISACA Kenya, I would like to open up our doors to the various experts within the industry who are willing to retrain IT auditors, IT Security professionals to consider ISACA as an ally. Let us work together, talk to me, come for one of the evening talks and let us grow and strengthen the profession. </div><div><br></div><div>I believe in partnerships and welcome anyone/organization with skills to come forward and help retrain these professionals.</div><div><br></div><div>regards,</div><div>Paul Roy.</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 2:49 PM, Mwendwa Kivuva via kictanet <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" target="_blank">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thanks Ali and Dr. Waudo.<div><br></div><div>Just wondering what is the view of ISACA Kenya Chapter on this, and the role they have played in ensuring such skills are legislated in statute. ISACA may be certifying experts who don't add any value in society when their resume are gathering digital dust in dropbox and Google drive. The questions we should be asking is how ICPAK was able to ensure their certifications are a must for somebody to perform any accounting work.
