Why become a member?

Becoming a Chartered Accountant CA(SA) is your gateway to a challenging and exciting career, global mobility, flexibility, and good earning potential in the business field of your choice.


SAICA does not only offer the prestigious chartered accountant [CA(SA)] designation, but also two other reputable, professional accounting and business designations to set you and your finance team off on a path to financial excellence?

  1. Associate General Accountant [AGA(SA)] is our mid-tier accountancy designation, equipping professional accountants with multidisciplinary skills to measure and enhance organisational value. AGAs(SA) can help you accelerate your team’s performance by bridging operations and strategic management functions within organisations.
  2. Accounting Technician [AT(SA] is our practical, work-ready foundational designation. This entry-level accountancy qualification and professional membership offer a solid foundation in accounting, finance and business practice. AT(SA) is accessible to aspirant accountants who function at foundational business levels.

All three SAICA designations are underpinned by a solid ethical foundation, equipping you and your team with the tools to uphold the highest level of professionalism, discipline and performance at the relevant business level. As a finance leader you can be assured of continuous professional development, expertise and ethical conduct that will ensure the highest levels of performance.
