It is not only newly qualified CA's in this boat. I was told today by a well known recruitment agency that they have many unemployed experienced CA's on their books. Anyone believing there is a shortage comes from another planet.

Good day I am registered member with SAIPA. Haven't considered doing a Programme in Forensic Audit. Do I need additional training, or are CA articles sufficient. My articles were finished in 2008.

SAICAs are reputed world wide for their technical depth. I do not believe this will better SAICA at all. I recently completed my CTA in South Africa and signed a ACA training contract with a big 4 firm overseas. Most of my time was spent explaining to experienced colleagues basic IFRS fundamentals. I do believe their lack knowledge is due to writing one or two exams (which are not in themselves technically in depth) on each topic and then clearly forgetting everything a few weeks later, this is because they do not have a sound base of knowledge from an accounting degree or the like. I have immigrated back to South Africa because of the low level of ACA traineeships.
