Training Plan and SAICA Application

CA of the Future will allow Training Offices more flexibility giving them the opportunity to customise their CA Training Programme.

As part to of the SAICA registration and accreditation process, it is vital that the organisation undertakes a rigorous assessment of all training opportunities within the organisation which would contribute to the Trainee’s development as a CA. This involves a multi-step process, for which we have developed a unique approach, innovative methodology and data capturing templates.

SAICA’s high level requirements for an accredited Training Office are summarised below:

• An environment that is clearly conducive to the training of professional accountants
• A commitment to continuing professional development
• A senior person responsible for coordination of training
• Chartered accountants who are capable and willing to act as Mentors, Reviewers and Training Officers
• An adequate spread and mix of work:
  • Range, depth and continuity of experience
  • Opportunities for personal and professional development
  • Continuing quality monitoring and supervision and adequate time for on-the-job training and counselling
