Do CISA first which should not be an issue for you with your audit experience then move on to CRISC.Alphabet soup from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, EC-Council, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco, Scrum, CompTIA, AWS -

@ b/eads
I agree with taking issue with falsifying credentials. If you make false statements on an application to obtain an ISACA or (ISC)2 credential then you can just as easily make those same adjustments on your CV/resume.
I disagree with your stance on how experience is gained. I don't think it's necessary to have had the word auditor in your title to have gained auditing experience. For example, my employer has a dedicated risk management team which I am not a member of, but my experience with my current employer alone has required me to perform tasks across all four domains for the past four years. I don't feel that I shouldn't go for CRISC just because the term risk is not in my title or dept name. It's about the function being performed and not what someone has in their email signature.Alphabet soup from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, EC-Council, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco, Scrum, CompTIA, AWS -

That's a good point. I see doing certs for 2 main reasons - 1) You have the experience and you need to rubber stamp this with a renowned cert or 2) To help you try and make a move into the area when ready (e.g. CISSP associate). Both CISA and CRISC cover key GRC topics which are quite often interrelated though looking at something from a slightly different lens.AWS, Azure, GCP, ISC2, GIAC, ISACA, TOGAF, SABSA, EC-Council, Comptia...
