Growing SA’s chartered accounting profession

Avbob Investment Plan
JOHANNESBURG – Chartered Accountants are the lifeblood of the South African economy.
They help entities to survive and thrive, helping to grow the country’s economy and to be competitive on the global stage.
SAIPA estimates that the country has a shortage of skilled accounting professionals and worryingly, the sector has not transformed in line with the country’s demographics.
Are there any efforts to address these challenges, particularly facing aspiring female Chartered Accountants?
The head of professional development at the African Women Chartered Accountants, Paballo Phiri discussed this with eNCA.
