Promoting advocacy and thought leadership for SAICA Members and the country to make a difference in the economy and society
The Standards division of SAICA is responsible for building the organisation’s intellectual capital and providing technical support and guidance to its members. This is achieved through regular newsletters, guides, seminars, events, and research publications, as well as through direct contact with SAICA for queries on technical and operational matters. The division plays a vital advocacy role by representing the best interests of SAICA’s members, the profession, and the country through collaboration with members and strategic alliances partners and forums. This helps maintain and grow SAICA’s global presence and attractiveness, as evidenced by brand awareness and trust surveys.
In 2022, SAICA Standards was able to reengage with members face to face through technical roadshows, presentations, and training in Europe, the UK, and Australia. This created excitement among members and reignited the SAICA brand for those who live away from South Africa. SAICA’s presence on the global stage creates enormous value for the organisation’s brand strength, making it deeply respected, valued, and employed globally.
The division plays an advocacy role in audit and assurance, taxation, corporate reporting, sustainability, corporate governance, ethics, and public sector matters. Stakeholder engagement is critical in building strong relationships to reach local and global consensus on standards setting and legislation.

In 2022, the division arranged 81 events that reached over 34 000 members, with an average overall rating of 4,44 out of 5, indicating a satisfaction score of 88%. The presenters, both local and international subject experts, demonstrate the high esteem that they hold for SAICA and its members. The Standards division provided 184 media interventions (articles, member profiles and interviews) which resulted in 410 media exposures valued at an advertising value equivalent of R19,5 million worth of media exposure, thereby strengthening the reputation of the CA(SA) designation and SAICA for the benefit of its members.
The Standards team played an integral role in the advocacy achieved by SAICA in 2022, with over 100 submissions made to regulators, local and international standard-setters, and structures of Parliament. This advocacy was undertaken with the primary goal of acting in the public interest and furthering the constitutional mandate of protecting members’ interests. They manage five of the six prescribed committees in terms of SAICA’s by-laws and 43 structures comprising more than 1 000 members, who give over 6 000 hours of their time to these structures collectively. This is a tribute to the membership who give generously of their time to assist the Standards team in fulfilling its advocacy and thought leadership goals.
Overall, the work of the Standards division is critical to SAICA’s strategic pillars of relevance and reputation, member value and growth, and transformation. Its advocacy role, stakeholder engagement, and events and publications contribute to creating new knowledge and providing technical support and guidance to SAICA’s members, enhancing the organisation’s global presence and brand strength, and fulfilling its constitutional mandate of protecting members’ interests.
