One of SAICA’s key pillars is the development of Black CAs and growing their numbers so that the membership will ultimately be reflective of the country’s population demographics. CAs have been identified by the Department of Higher Education and Training as a priority area where more skills need to be developed. In this regard, SAICA plays a critical role in bringing about transformation and growth by means of its pipeline initiatives. As has already been stated, SAICA is a membership body and not in the business of providing learnerships/apprenticeships.
Accordingly, the latter is not applicable to the body itself.

Key measurement principles
- As SAICA is a membership body and not in the business of procurement, SAICA’s major expenses relate to salaries and travel.
- Here the major contribution SAICA could make is in the area of supplier development. In this regard, SAICA has set up an entity to develop Black suppliers, namely SAICA Enterprise Development. This would qualify as an enterprise development initiative, as these are not SAICA suppliers.
- In addition, the capacity-building projects at the Historically Disadvantaged Universities are about developing the ‘suppliers’ of CAs and ensuring that their degrees are accredited.
