We are the London Chapter of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), an international body that has been in existence since 1969. Our own Chapter, the first in the UK, was established in 1981. Other UK Chapter now include Northern England, Central England, and Scotland, and there is also an Ireland Chapter.
London Chapter has over 2,500 members who come from a wide cross-section of business including the accountancy and information systems professions, central and local government, the banking, manufacturing and service sectors and academia.
Anyone with an interest in the control of Information Systems is welcome to join. The wide interests of the group are reflected in its objectives which include:
- to promote the education of and help expand the knowledge and skills of members in the inter-related fields of auditing, quality assurance, security and IT Governance;
- to encourage a free exchange of IT Governance, quality assurance, and security techniques, approaches and problem solving by members;
- to promote adequate communication to keep members abreast of current events in IT Governance, quality assurance, and security fields that can be of benefit to them and their employers;
- to communicate to management, auditors, universities and to IS professionals the importance of establishing controls necessary to ensure the effective organisation and utilisation of data processing resources.
