To convey its broadened scope of professional expertise, the Information Systems Audit and Control Association will use only its acronym -- ISACA -- after 1 January 2006. The association has also adopted a new tagline to further define and explain its acronym: ISACA: Serving IT Governance Professionals. The organization will also change its Logo from that date onwards.

"ISACA is changing its logo to reflect the expanded professional niche we serve. We have seen an increasing number of information security professionals in our membership, and we are committed to providing pertinent programming and research to our constituents," said Everett Johnson, CPA, international president of ISACA.

ISACA is committed to serving the fields of assurance and control, which, along with information security, are included under the broader, encompassing umbrella of IT governance.
