> specific requirements, including the development and maintenance of a
> certification scheme for personnel.

> examinations, surveillance and recertification. It also specifies the
> requirements for independence of training from certification,
> confidentiality of information, competence of staff and subcontractors,
> and the need for stakeholder input into certification schemes.

> Accreditation by ANSI signifies that ISACA's procedures meet ANSI's
> essential requirements for openness, balance, consensus and due process.
