The South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA) has launched its National Accounting and Maths Olympiad (NAMO), a reboot of its annual National Accounting Olympiad.
Unlike previous years, the 2021 competition will be held in a case study format where learners submit their business solutions to industry experts, says Professor Rashied Small, executive at the institute’s Centre of Future Excellence (CoFE) and concept creator of the new Olympiad.
“We’re breaking free of the exam hall to build an engaging and immersive experience that will challenge entrants’ ingenuity in real-world business scenarios rather than their textbook maths and accountancy skills alone,” he says.
