Leon Kies CA (SA), RA

I am a Chartered Accountant and Registered Auditor with over 19 years of large audit firm external audit experience across multiple industries. I have served in risk and quality support roles for the majority of this time, my main interest and expertise being assurance technical support to audit teams. I have a passion for playing my part in enabling auditors to perform high quality audits which add value to the stakeholders in the financial reporting value chain. My career so far has included detailed involvement in the standard setting activities of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors of South Africa. As member of the Assurance Guidance Committee of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants, I am excited to contribute to the vital support that this committee provides to Chartered Accountants practicing as auditors in South Africa.
