Welcome to the ISACA Baton Rouge Chapter. The Baton Rouge Chapter was formed in September of 1984. The aim of the Chapter is to sponsor local educational seminars and workshops, conducts regular chapter meetings, and help to further promote and elevate the visibility of the IS audit, control and security profession throughout Baton Rouge. The Chapter provides a forum to facilitate the free exchange of information regarding systems control and security. We also provide our members with access to audit and security resources and offer educational meetings and seminars to keep our membership informed of the latest advances in technology and audit and security techniques.
This chapter is run by volunteers who are ISACA members nominated through ISACA Annual General Meeting (AGM). ISACA members' participations in running the chapter are highly encouraged.
