Research from the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) revealed that our country has a deficit of 22 030 accountants, with 1.4 percent of existing chartered accountants immigrating each year. In many cases, accountant training classes may open doors that previously were closed.
According to Statistics SA, financial illiteracy costs South Africa billions annually. There are 3 500 judgements passed every day against South Africans defaulting on payments, and one in three people has debt default against him or her. This results in a monthly cost of R1 billion against our economy!
Corporate financial training aims to reduce these costs and empower staff on a personal level, from the disadvantaged to the business mogul.
