Our engagements with a broad range of stakeholders help us to understand their needs and interests so that we can respond appropriately, support the transformation and upliftment of communities and contribute to sustainable societies. Effective engagement with stakeholders helps to translate their needs into organisational goals and creates the basis of effective strategy execution. Stakeholder groups include both strategic dependencies (stakeholders SAICA depends on to execute its strategy) and strategic benefactors (those who will benefit from the achievement of the strategy). Stakeholder needs and interests are also critical inputs into the material matter determination process and the identification of risks and opportunities.

We identify our key stakeholders by considering SAICA’s most material matters, continued local and international relevance, technical competence, reputation management, financial sustainability and service of the public interest, and the extent to which expectations have been met. SAICA’s key stakeholder groups are shown in the diagram below.
