The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) together with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has planned for its next batch of Diploma in Information Systems, Security, Control and Audit (DISSCA) to be commenced in March 2011.

The joint effort towards launching this highly sought-after diploma runs back to 2002 and 429 students have been trained in 17 batches to date.

Harnessing world-class competencies in systems audit, control and security; enhancing technological skills of accounting professionals; empowering organisations and accounting professionals to face contemporary challenges in the current dynamic business environment; and establishing standards in systems security, control and audit, good governance and security practices are amongst the objective of launching this diploma.

Information security risk has come to the forefront of organisational risk portfolio in today’s environment where knowledge and information is considered one of vital assets of an organisation. Organisations have become increasingly vulnerable to information system related risks with increased exposure to IT related crimes. It is in this context that ICASL believes its efforts will meet this contemporary need.
