Competency framework
Welcome to CA2025 - Pathways to Relevance
We live and work in a VUCA world – Volatile; Uncertain; Complex and Ambiguous. In a world of exponential and continuous change, it has become more critical than ever to ensure that accountants remain relevant in the roles they perform.
As technology continues to improve and is more and more prevalent to everything that accountants do, so this creates both challenges and opportunities for current and future members / associates of SAICA. SAICA has responded to this ever changing world by undertaking a number of strategic initiatives including :
- CA2025 – the development of a competency framework which sets out what professional competence entry level CAs should demonstrate.
- CA Pathways to Relevance (CAPtR) – takes the CA2025 competency framework and through ten career paths defines as a guide professional competencies that should be displayed.
- The CPD Policy was also adapted (effective 1 January 2020) to recognise the different ways in which members further develop their professional competence post qualification and further information and resources can be found on the policy here.
CA2025
SAICA’s CA2025 competency framework sets out the competencies an entry level CA(SA) should demonstrate at the end of the pre-qualification process
CA of the Future (CA2025)
Pathways to Relevance
This defines the post-qualification roles and competence requirements which can be used as a guideline when undertaking the required self-reflection for the CPD policy.
