why not just ask the question you have here and let the people answer to the best of their capacity ...we all learn every day

And MCSA could be
MCSA: Server Administration
MCSA : WEB deve
MCSA: SQL Server Administration

engrrichie92:

Please don't pay anybody. I applied online during the strike period so mine took quite some time. But after the strike I went to the records office to confirm my application was received. I was directed to the person in charge of my department's transcript, she showed me my file and also gave me her number to followup. I called her a number of times to get updates and when my transcript was sent she gave me the DHL tracking number. I didn't pay a dime extra.

Hello how long did it take....I say so because mine I still pending.....I waited till after the strike to pay....remita but this has taken at least another 3/4 months and no feedback and no delivery..thinking of getting there in person very soon again...!

Further more...I think that's why this forum I here...if you have any questions post them here..we will do our best to answer

dyonpoint:
I am interested in writing this exam by September too, how do I go about registering and preparing for the exam and also can any one assist with the current CISA Manual and prep materials for me to start preparing ASAP.

I wish they would also start impounding all those vehicles billowing out smoke.

yea...! Me too

ironheart:
Misplaced priority, they lack basic knowledge, there core job is not to check license, they are meant to prevent accident.

Stop vehicles that are heavily over loaded

Make sure drivers are using there seat belts

Arrest drivers who flout road rules

Hmmmm...while i understand where u r coming from brother...i think the things they mentioned all fall under the " prevent Accident" section of your complaint. am sure keeping drunk divers off the road via the use of a Breathalyzer is not a bad idea and would go a long way to "preventing Accidents"

Thanks a lot bro...heading there tomorrow...!

The following details the steps required to renew your driver's licence in Lagos, Nigeria. This is based on my recent experience. I'll try to be as detailed as possible but let me know if you have any questions.

The process can be split into 3 stages: Pre-application, Online Application, and DLC process. The whole thing can be done in a day.

PRE-APPLICATION:
My driver's licence was soon to expire and I started to experience the typical anxiety most people feel when they need to go through a process involving Nigerian government agencies. A number of questions needed answering so I got on Google ASAP.

QUESTION 1: Can I start the process online?
Answer: This was easy. The website http://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org shows up as soon as you type in "driver's licence" on Google.

QUESTION 2: Should I start the process now or should I wait for the licence to expire first? In other words, is there a grace period after the licence expires?
Answer: Nairaland had a number of conflicting opinions on this. Most people seemed to believe that there was a grace period after the licence expires. Some others even claimed it was risky starting the process before the licence expired. This notion is however incorrect.
I did some digging online and found an extract from the 2012 National Road Traffic Regulations (available here: http://frsc.gov.ng/publications) which states you can apply for a renewal "any time within a period of one calendar month before the expiry date of the licence." I also messaged the FRSC Nigeria Facebook account and the response was straightforward, "No grace after expiration please. You have to start the process as the license is about expiring."
In short, the grace period is 30 days before the licence expires. So I started the process immediately.

ONLINE APPLICATION
1. Go to http://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org and click on "Driver's Licence Renewal" (or "Renewal of Driver's Licence" under "DL Application"
2. This takes you to this page https://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org/dlApplication/renew where you are to enter your
Driver's Licence Number and Date of Birth. Note: If your drivers' licence is not going to expire within 30 days, you won't be able to proceed past this point.
3. On the renewal page, select between a 3-year validity period for N6,350 or a 5-year validity period for N10,450.
4. Complete the rest of the form with your personal details and contact/mailing address. You can choose to edit your information here (just check the edit box) or you can retain the details you had as at your last application. You can also add your Taxpayer Identification Number (just the 6 digits without the "N-" if you are so inclined.
5. If you do not need to change anything, you can skip to the bottom of the form where you fill in the Processing Office Details. The state and local government where your licence was initially processed will be indicated here, however you need to select your preferred FRSC Capture Center to conclude the process (I wasted some time here trying to figure out the difference between Eti-Osa_I and Eti-Osa_II then just went with Iru_VI eventually)
6. Next you have the option of repeating the bio-metric data capture or not. Unless you have undergone significant physical changes in the last 3-5 years, please select "No" here.
7. Submit
8. Note: If for any reason, you have to reload this page, please start over and select "No" under the bio-metric re-capture option again. When I first tried to submit and I had to correct something on the form, I noticed that the selection had defaulted to "Yes"; so I simply restarted the process from step 2 above (it doesn't take 5 minutes).
9. Once you are done, you will be shown the completed ML15R form on a Driver's Licence Application Preview Page. This will have all the application details with three options at the bottom of the page: 'Print', 'Proceed with Payment', 'Cancel'
10. I strongly advise you proceed with the online payment at this stage. It's the normal Interswitch process and pretty straightforward.
11. Once you're done with the payment, you will be taken back to the updated Driver's Licence Application Preview Page with the Payment Status updated to Payment Confirmed and the expiry date extended by the validity period you paid for (3 or 5 years)
12. Go to the bottom of the page and click on 'Print'

DLC PROCESS
1. Print 2 copies of the completed Driver's Licence Application Preview Page
2. Make 2 copies of your current driver's licence. Also have the original with you.
3. Take 2 passport photographs
4. Head to your selected FRSC Capture Center. If you can find the VIO "Road Sense" CD/DVD that you were given when you first applied for your driver's licence, please take this along with you.
5. At the center, present items 1-3 listed above (alongside your current original driver's licence) to the FRSC officers.
6. Next you will be directed to the VIO office (same building)
7. Present the above-listed items to the VIO officials.
8. At this point, you will be asked to pay N1,000. This is where the "Road Sense" CD/DVD comes in handy. The N1,000 payment is for a test and the CD. I mentioned that I was given the CD the last time I renewed my driver's licence and they asked if I had it with me. The explanation was that they couldn't simply accept my word that I had the CD. However, if I could present the CD, they would take out the cost from the N1,000. I didn't belabour the matter.
9. After paying, you need to take a test. I was given a verbal test although the VIO official pointed out that it should/could have been a written test. The test was simple enough and it essentially became a 5-minute educational discourse. Just be patient and remember, the maximum speed limit in Lagos State is 80km/hr
10. After successfully passing the test, the VIO official will give you a signed Driver's Licence Checklist, and also complete required parts of the printed Driver's Licence Application Page.
11. Back at the FRSC desk, you need to make copies of the signed Driver's Licence Checklist and the signed Driver's Licence Application Page (with your passport photograph attached).
12. These copies attached to a copy of your current driver's licence will be further signed by the FRSC official and this forms your temporary driver's licence.

The new driver's licence will be ready in 3 months.

HI Everyone...I want to do two things today....
First thing I was having a discussion with an auditor recently ...and found out that as an alternative to CISA, for those who r not too IT Inclined...and who might find all the Jargon too much then you could look at CRISC instead...especially for those intending to run to Canada..


secondly to give an Example of what kind of Questions one can see in the CISA Exam
########

A.
Authentication and integrity of data

engrrichie92:
who's going for the ISACA 2018 Conference on feb 24th?
@soho2911 you up?

Not Yet Decide yet bro....I want to but might not be available as at then...if i am then i could probably go

Cybrary is cool......

Heheheh..! Are you for real...? and i tot my own parents had it bad

budaatum:
Thank you sir for this thread Victor Bassey.

My ma tells me when she was young, they were made to believe Jerusalem was in heaven and god lived there. On her way to UK in the 60s, they happened to go via Egypt and Israel and she visited Jerusalem, and that's when a dagger was thrown through her faith. That is the level of ignorance that prevailed.

This is Very On Point....From Someone Who is already working as in IT Auditor...there seems to be a lot happening in the Security sector....From Pentesting.....to ISO 27001 ( which just means you are an Auditor with a Security focus).... infact ISACA themselves is in the process of releasing three new Certifications bent strictly towards Cyber-security....( Check out CSX & CSX-P).....


That being sed im also considering Doing my CISSP this year ( March) ...but am torn between doing it or doing something more hands on like ...ECSA or OSCP.

Also in response to your mention of S+.. my opinion...go straight to your CEH brother or ECSA

engrrichie92:
Exactly the question I asked myself when I L passed my exam
And after asking this same question and doing my own lil research...having CISA is not enough in itself, more work needs to be done especially if you New to the field of Information Security/Audit like me

Firstly, I think one needs to decide if you want to go into Information Security or Information Audit
For me, want to switch from where I am at the moment to Information Security
So already plotting on how to port to the security unit of my organization and while I'm on that, have also started some security courses online(Started Comptia S+ some weeks back, then move to CEH et others) to help me understand the field of security from ground Up(I don't intend writing the exams for those foundational security courses though but hope to write CISSP towards the end of the year)

Another thing that was mentioned here that I planned implementing is to get acquainted and active in ISACA's local chapter ..attend seminars (paid/free) to further broaden my knowledge and expand my network of Professionals in the security field

Information Security Professionals from the little I have gathered are scarce and in short supply relative to the high demand
My mentor would say, just get yourself grounded well enough and the sky is your starting point in the field of security

In summary we continue to read and learn (essence of CPEs in CISA) and pray to God to open doors for us

drbolade:
Hello guys have been thinking of professional exams to enrol for this new year and I am given cisa a shot please I need more details about the exam. 1.How many diet do I need to passed before I am certified.
2. How many time is the exam being written in a year
3. I don't have finance background except secondary schools accounting which I did a long time a go Will I fit in and some other info you guys think I need to know
Appreciate you guys

Well first of all CISA is not a Financial Exam its an Audit exam with heavy emphasis on information technology...There is Only one Exam to be written...and its written in 3 periods each year....June-Aug/ Sept-Nov/ Dec..


Secondly there is no need to pass various "Diets" just prepare for the exam and pass it once

Its a CBT( computer based exam ) and all you need to do is just register online and Schedule your date and go Do it on that day...there are 250 questions you must answer in 4 Hours

It is marked based on a scale of 800 and you must get like 450/800 to pass ( so like 60%)


What Should you know?....hmmm there are 5 domains with varying weights as seen below.


Domain 1—The Process of Auditing Information Systems (21%)
Domain 2—Governance and Management of IT (16%)
Domain 3—Information Systems Acquisition, Development and Implementation (18%)
Domain 4—Information Systems Operations, Maintenance and Service Management (20%)
Domain 5—Protection of Information Assets (25%)



any other questions u need ask we shall answer...

bjbblackj:
Good evening. I also passed. I forgot to share yesterday..the questions were somehow though..I can't wait to get the breakdown.

Congrats Bro..! please gist us how it was...Which section did you find tougher ....? Risk Management? or The various types of Fire walls...?

or is it IT Governance that Gave you issues.....I found Domain 1 quite Easy...even though i have an IT back ground

I think most professional Auditors( Accountants) find Domain 1 a bit easy, but seem to have issues with Domain 5 & 4 due to the plenty of technical Jargon
