The specialised nature of information systems (IS) auditing and the skills necessary to perform such audits require standards that apply specifically to IS auditing. One of the goals of ISACA is to advance globally applicable standards to meet its vision. The development and dissemination of the IS Auditing Standards are acornerstone of the ISACA professional contribution to the audit community. The framework for the IS Auditing Standards provides multiple levels of guidance:

Standards define mandatory requirements for IS auditing and reporting. They inform: – IS auditors of the minimum level of acceptable performance required to meet the professional responsibilities set out in the ISACA Code ofProfessional Ethics – Management and other interested parties of the profession’s expectations concerning the work of practitioners – Holders of the Certified Information Systems Auditor™ (CISA®) designation of requirements. Failure to comply with these standards may result in an investigation into the CISA holder’s conduct by the ISACA Board of Directors or appropriate ISACA committee and,ultimately, in disciplinary action. Guidelines provide guidance in applying IS Auditing Standards. The IS auditor should consider them in determining how to achieve implementation of the standards, use professional judgement in their application and be prepared to justify any departure. The objective of the IS Auditing Guidelines is to provide further information on how to comply with the IS AuditingStandards. Procedures provide examples of procedures an IS auditor might follow in an audit engagement. The procedure documents provide information on how to meet the standards when performing IS auditing work, but do not set requirements. The objective of the IS Auditing Procedures is to provide further information on how to comply with the IS Auditing Standards.
