Yes! I totally agree with you folks. And this site also hosts professional seminars and conferences. Participating in non-ISACA activities like university courses, seminars, conferences, in-house corporate training and professional meetings can also count as CPE hours. And completing university courses in relative fields can earn you several CPE hours. This site is definitely helpful thanks. IT audit

Hi! Are you having problems finding right exam guide for cisa certification? I was having such problems few days ago. And I consulted with this site because their CISA certification program requires you to complete the Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Policy so that you can maintain a sufficient level of knowledge and expertise in the Information Systems audit, control and security field. This is proved to be really helpful to me. Thanks. . cisa exam
