SAICA’s collaboration with The Whistleblower House

Johannesburg, 7 July 2023 - As you are aware, recent years have witnessed numerous challenges in our country, particularly regarding state capture and the perceived erosion of ethical standards. In light of these concerns, SAICA has engaged members and associates to address these issues in the hopes of fostering a culture of accountability and integrity. One crucial aspect of this dialogue has been the support and protection of whistleblowers who bravely come forward to expose wrongdoing, often at great personal risk.

To address these challenges, SAICA has entered into a memorandum of understanding with The Whistleblower House, a respected organisation dedicated to supporting whistleblowers and protecting their rights. This collaboration aims to provide a support system for whistleblowers, ensuring that they receive the necessary assistance and protection through the whistleblowing process and beyond.

Under the terms of the agreement, SAICA will provide annual financial contributions to The Whistleblower House.

SAICA is honoured to play a part in supporting whistleblowers – their actions contribute to strengthening corporate governance, enhancing transparency, and ultimately safeguarding public and private interests.

We encourage all our members and associates to familiarise themselves with the services provided by The Whistleblower House. Members and associates can also contribute to the work of The Whistleblower House; details on how to make contributions can be found on The Whistleblower House website.

We are excited about the prospects that this collaboration brings and the positive impact it will have on our profession and society as a whole. Together, we can make a difference in restoring trust in the integrity of our organisations.
