• Members of SAIPA have a professional and social responsibility to the Institute and the community to pass on their expertise to Learners of the accounting profession in a collegial system.
• To this end SAQA, the NQF, Fasset and SAIPA combine in prescribing Learnerships for potential future Professional Accountants (SA).
• It is not a one-way street, however, as Members of SAIPA derive tangible and measurable benefits by participating in the transfer of their professional skills to aspirant accountants, in a number of ways.
The professional stature of SAIPA members and their practices enjoy an enhanced professional stature when registered as an Approved Training Centre (ATC) by the Institute.
The ATC practice, by taking BComm Accounting graduates into employment, gains access to well-educated human resources of high potential and productivity.
Unlocking this potential and productivity rewards the practice with the financial rewards of better profitability.
By participating in Learnerships, the ATC is assisting in resolving the current skills shortage in South Africa, and assisting in providing essential skills to individuals to assist in finding further employment.
