Mission and programs · 2024

• Information Systems Audit and Control Association's (ISACA) primary purpose is to serve its members and their organizations. One way ISACA does so is by helping members do their jobs better, offering them pragmatic guidance on how to safely and effectively implement technology. ISACA annually produces hundreds of knowledge assets in various formats, including print, digital, interactive (tools, audit programs), video and audio. In 2024, ISACA hosted a combination of in-person (ISACA Conference North America in Phoenix, USA, and ISACA Conference Europe in Dublin, Ireland) and virtual events. The association offers member benefits in the areas of professional development, community, mentoring and leadership and volunteer opportunities, and continually reviews and expands its portfolio of benefits to address the changing needs of members. Many member benefits are documented and further explained within the other responses on this form. ISACA added more than 39,000 new members in 2024. ISACA has 228 local chapters in 100 countries.

• Information technology (IT) is a rapidly changing industry, and it demands a commitment on the part of its practitioners to learn continuously and master new skills. Certification is one way to expand one's skill set and be recognized for doing so. Holding an ISACA professional certification demonstrates excellence in the topic and a commitment to remaining current and informed; it distinguishes an individual from his/her peers. ISACA offers several certification exams: Certified Information. Systems Auditor (CISA), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT), Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC), Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) and CSX Practitioner (CSX-P) designations. More recently, ISACA introduced stackable certificates that add up to a full certification for the Certified in Emerging Technology (CET) and Information Technology Certified Associate (ITCA) credentials. More than 210,000 CISAs have been certified since its inception in 1978; more than 100,000 CISMs have been certified since its inception in 2002; more than 10,000 CGEITs have been certified since its inception in 2007, more than 40,000 CRISCs have been certified since its inception in 2010 and more than 16,000 CDPSEs have been certified since its inception in 2020. ISACA, in collaboration with the Cloud Security Alliance, also offers a Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK). Additionally, ISACA offers an IT Audit Fundamentals Certificate, Cybersecurity Audit Certificate, IT Risk Fundamentals Certificate, Blockchain Fundamentals Certificate and Computing Fundamentals Certificate.

• In 2024, the ISACA education roster included virtual and in-person ISACA conferences in several regions covering a range of topics such as IT audit, IT governance, risk management, cybersecurity and data privacy. This was in addition to week-long training events focusing in-depth on one or two topics. ISACA is dedicated to monitoring the professional environment and developing new programs as needed to complement its established portfolio of events. The association has focused a considerable amount of effort on digital learning platforms, as it provides a way to cover emerging topics on a timely basis and offer low-cost education to a globally dispersed audience.

• ISACA targets two goals with its activities: helping professionals realize the positive potential of technology and inspiring confidence that enables innovation through technology. The association achieves those activities by providing information, standards, publications, and academic guidance (in addition to the items noted in the descriptions of program achievements 1, 2 and 3). The ISACA Journal is ISACA's official magazine. Issued bimonthly, and supplemented in the off months by online articles, the Journal seeks to enhance the proficiency and competitive advantage of its international readership by providing peer-reviewed managerial and technical guidance from experienced global authors. It is available in digital format on the website and via mobile app. ISACA also produces @ISACA, a biweekly electronic newsletter dedicated to ISACA news. The ISACA Bookstore offers a selection of peer-reviewed publications on professional topics of interest to ISACA members, at discounted prices. New selections are added regularly, to ensure the catalog remains current with changing trends and member needs. ISACA continues to expand the platforms and languages in which its content is available to its professional community. The Publications team provided translations of many of its publications, including certification exams, study aids, ISACA Journal articles, COBIT 2019 and other research publications. Languages included Chinese, Simplified, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Spanish. ISACA issues Information Systems Auditing Standards, Guidelines and Procedures, which provide prescriptive or suggested guidance on how audits should be undertaken. The standards, guidelines and procedures are continually reviewed to ensure that new ones are developed or existing ones are revised as needed to align with new regulations or technologies.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
