SAIPA to pioneer new state of accountancy

The South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA) intends to fundamentally re-imagine the way the accountancy profession is perceived, developed and utilised. This was announced at an online media briefing presented by Shahied Daniels, the Institute’s Chief Executive, on Thursday, 3 September. “We have begun thinking differently about what accountancy is and needs to be in a world marked by advanced technological capabilities and extreme socio-economic conditions,” he said. Daniels outlined how SAIPA will approach these requirements.
