Johannesburg, 1 August 2023 – The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) has received concerns from members and stakeholders to play a more active role in the public sector to assist the government in rebuilding the economy and improve service delivery as public trust in government continues to deteriorate.

Johannesburg, 19 July 2023 - The public sector is the largest sector in the global economy, and with complex finances, competing demands on public resources, and the need for transparency and accountability in the management of public funds, the demand for accounting and finance professionals is high. However, many public sector entities, including at national and local government levels, struggle to find suitable candidates with the right skills to fill these positions.

SAICA members, including Thando Myoli CA(SA), executive for audit and assurance; Pride Msweli CA(SA), technical accounting manager; and Matthew Berger CA(SA), registered auditor at PKF Octagon, joined Clement Manyathela on 702's "Across the Desk" feature to delve into the work of a chartered accountant.
