What is a chartered accountant – CA (SA)?

The Chartered Accountant qualification is the highest professional accountancy qualification in South Africa. A person who has completed the education and training requirements of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) needs to register as a member in order to use the designation CA(SA). A chartered accountant is an expert in the fields of financial accounting, external auditing, financial management, management accounting and taxation. Chartered accountants are characterised by their multidisciplinary and analytical abilities and their systematic and logical approach to problem solving.
