Certified IT General Controls Practitioner (CITGCP)
Certified Sarbanes Oxley Act Implementer (CSOXI)

Two certifications together that validate a comprehensive knowledge on Information Technology General Controls (ITGC or GITC) and SOX Act.

IT General Controls (ITGC) or General IT Controls (GITC) are controls an organisation will have to implement to address the risks to the accuracy of the financial reporting. In a regulatory regime like Sarbanex Oxley Act (SOX), this will become very prominent as a legal requirement to assess and address the risks appropriately. The syllabus covers comprehensively the knowledge a professional should have related to the general controls for IT. This certification addresses the possible skill gap in this area.
