Certified Agile Auditor (CAA)

This certification is a testimonial of a professional auditor on the competence in performing audits using agile methods, to add better value to the stakeholders. 

A conventional auditor does the audit in a waterfall model. With the changing environments and changing organisational methods of dealing with various activities, the audit methods also should change and agile enough to meet the current high velocity and dynamic scenarios. Audit activities must deliver  value to the stakeholders and enable them to make decisions. In a rapidly changing environment how an organisation is going to get value from the audit activities is what Agile Auditing deals with. Adoption of agile methods to auditing enhances the value of audits to relevant stakeholders. This certification deals with how agile auditing can be performed and the value it can bring to the organisation.
