ACCA members can now apply to become registered auditors in South Africa, in a move that will help alleviate talent shortages and widen diversity in the audit sector.
Following accreditation last year by South Africa’s Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors, members of ACCA are now able to apply to become registered auditors in the country.
ACCA’s Portia Mkhabela, said: ‘We’re delighted that the pathway for ACCA members and future members to gain registered auditor status in South Africa is now available.’
“This is good news for our current members and students, and it will also increase the appeal of accountancy as a potential career for those just starting out.”
