The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) and IIT Madras have jointly launched a Certification programme on Audit of Digital Systems to build capacity in auditing digital government and enterprise systems.
It has been developed to equip learners with specialised competencies required to assure transparency, accountability, and governance in the digital era. K. Sanjay Murthy, Comptroller and Auditor General of India, launched the foundational-level certification under the three-tier CADS programme on Thursday in the presence of V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras.
Learners will subsequently be able to pursue Proficient- and Expert-level certifications enabling them to advance from foundational digital audit competencies to leading complex, multi-domain digital audit engagements.
The programme offers Public Audit and five core domains – Information Technology, Cyber Security, Information Systems, Digital Public Platforms and Privacy, and Artificial Intelligence. The four-month-long, fully online programme will be open to anyone holding or pursuing an undergraduate degree anywhere in the country.
