CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS ACADEMY

The CAA provides an avenue for prospective Chartered Accountants to receive training without going through an audit firm. This type of training has been a feature in the

private sector for some time, but has been adopted by the public sector. National Treasury was the first national government department to introduce such a programme.

This programme will not only reinforce your academic education, but will also help deve

lop business acumen, professional and ethical values. The programme will contribute significantly to the National Treasury’s ability to attract and retain key finance and accounting professionals within the department and the broader public sectoras a whole. A maximum of 10 graduates a year get selected into the programme.
