Cochin chapter of ISACA was started as an association of some CISA aspirants in the year 1999. The association took formal shape when 5 out of 7 who appeared for CISA 2001 got certified. The chapter was formalized in 2001 itself and since then the chapter is functioning as a nodal point of ISACA activities in the state of Kerala. Our sincere efforts resulted in Cochin becoming a CISA examination center from the year 2002.
The chapter got formal recognition from ISACA Head Quarters in the year 2002. From the year 2002 ISACA Cochin Chapter conducts CISA Classes.
