jsox - educational track 1908

Happy New Year :),
I’m new to the forum, so please be gentle…
I am a currently a Senior IT Compliance Auditor at a mid sized company with consulting and attest auditing experience.
I have a CS degree, a CISA, and about 6 years of experience.
What other requirements can i be expected to meet? What are your suggestions?
I am very interested in jsox and want the opportunity to audit (attest or internal) a Japanese company. I would prefer to move to Japan, if it is for a permanent position.
Any English information that anyone has in regards to the jsox framework, etc. would be appreciated.
Additionally, if you know of any such opportunities, I would really love to know about them.

Hi and welcome to the forums
Some advice that might be applicable can be found here:

The keys:- A resume focusing on JSOX as a career path and SOX related skill sets
- Individually tailored cover letters to firms which potentially must adhere to JSOX
- Networking, networking, networking – Through any type of professional organization meetings or friends, this is your best way to find a job
Good luck to you and hope you succeed with your career aspirations

harrywaldron,
Thanks for all the input - I currently attend few of my ISACA meetings, but am going to a COBIT event sponsored by ISACA in a few weeks in Pasadena. I am not a member of the IIA, but I think I will see if I can attend their events (ISACA allows non-members to attend for a slightly higher price than the member fees).
calvin,
I don’t speak Japanese… I hoped that wouldn’t be a requirement, although somehow I knew it would obviously be very benificial.
Thank you for your input, however.

I don’t want to seem dumb, but what does ‘jsox’ :?: stand for?

Hi JP - That’s a good question
JSOX = Japanese implementation of SOX
Please paste to browser and add www
google.com/search?hl=en-and-q=jsox
JSOX are Japanese regulations that mirror somewhat Sarbanes-Oxley
