UHY Advisors’ David Barton Awarded CRISC Certification

Jan. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- UHY Advisors, a top financial, tax and business consulting firm, announces that David Barton, a Principal in the Technology Assurance and Advisory Services group in the firm’s Southeast office, has been awarded the Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) designation. CRISC recognizes professionals for their knowledge of enterprise risk and their ability to design, implement, monitor and maintain Information Systems (IS) controls to mitigate such risk. This certification formally recognizes Barton’s qualifications, and consequently increases the strength of the UHY Advisors team.

The CRISC designation distinguishes recipients as being exceptionally qualified to help clients better understand Information Systems risks and their impact, as well as implement the best strategies to mitigate them.

“David is truly an asset to our firm,” said Frank Fenello, managing director for UHY Advisors in the Southeast.  “David is very in tune with industry news and developments, and once this certification came out last year, David quickly went after it and obtained it.  We congratulate David on earning the CRISC certification.”

Barton has earned the CRISC certification because of his involvement at an operational level to mitigate risk for clients.  His proven experience in risk identification, assessment and evaluation; risk response; risk monitoring; IS control design and implementation; and IS control monitoring and maintenance positioned him as an eligible candidate for the certification.

CRISC is issued by ISACA, a leading global provider of knowledge, certifications, community, advocacy and education on information systems (IS) assurance and security, enterprise governance and management of IT, and IT-related risk and compliance.
