The worlds of accounting and digital information systems, particularly in the area of information security, have become intertwined. Penn State Altoona has created a certificate program to help information technology and accounting professionals acquire the skills they need for maintaining and auditing digital information systems. This Information Systems Auditing Certificate integrates critical areas of knowledge of information technology and accounting professionals.
Students who complete the certificate program will develop skills useful in obtaining other professional credentials, such as the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) or Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP) credentials.
