Technical Summary: SAICA Visits – What to expect and how to prepare

OVERVIEW

SAICA accredits a training office in order to allow the training office to train prospective CAs(SA) and AGAs(SA). The accreditation is valid for a specific period and continued accreditation is dependent on the training office demonstrating that it continues to meet the SAICA accreditation criteria – this is assessed during the re-accreditation visits performed by SAICA.

This webinar provides guidance and clarity to SAICA accredited training offices on how to prepare for as well as what to expect during SAICA visits and what happens with the SAICA report.
