September 2024 Issue
This month SAICA’s beautiful CEO Patricia Stock, graces the cover of Accountancy SA magazine in her gorgeous heritage attire. Sitting in on her interview and hearing her speak about her past journey and future dreams and aspirations for SAICA, one is just once again reassured that the profession is in very good hands.
I once heard a wise man say if you aim at nothing, you can be sure you will hit it. Goals are so important to move forward in life. And as a young woman, Patricia’s goals have always been clear to her − one of them being to become an audit partner by the age of 30. She achieved that, becoming one of the first black female partners at BDO South Africa. A few years later she started her own firm, and so her career evolved going from one success to another to where she is today − becoming the first black female CEO of SAICA.
