The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (Saica) has commissioned a comprehensive, independent study to understand why African students are failing competency tests.
This follows their release of the latest Assessment of Professional Competency report.
Every year, Saica releases the results of the Assessment of Professional Competence following a robust marking process of all who sat the assessments the previous year. The assessment, which is competency-based, assesses aspiring chartered accountants’ ability to demonstrate their application of skills to real-world scenarios using their technical skills.
The data released by Saica in regard to results is categorised in terms of race and gender in an effort to evaluate and illustrate the impact of the profession’s effort to transform the demographics of the profession to reflect those of the country in terms of race and gender.
