ISACA awards seven different credentials and certifications for GRC professionals to achieve, including its leading certificate CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) and CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) and many more.

Being the No. 1 bank in the country with international presence, Bank of Ceylon has set its standards high and professional. The bank recognised the need of adapting to rapid change in a technology environment and embracing new technology to address the needs of the new generation. The bank is also well-aware of the risk involved with new technology and therefore has immensely invested on capacity building of its employees and delivering a professional service to customers. Contribution of Bank of Ceylon to the GRC sector is sparkled by its capability of producing new professionals to the sector each year and BOC has so far introduced a dozen of IS Auditors to the country becoming the national organisation with the highest number of ISACA professional credential holders. This was achieved by BOC for the second consecutive year.

The recognition award was handed over to the Chief Internal Auditor of Bank of Ceylon by the Past President of ISACA Sri Lanka chapter in the presence of chapter officials and professional members from different sectors including public and private banks and other organisations in Sri Lanka at the premises and via online.
