Our Services: Training and Consulting for the Accounting Profession

Specialist training to the accounting profession addresses a range of development needs. Courses are completely up to date with the latest developments and trends in auditing, accounting and ethical standards as well as legislation. Where required, in-house courses are designed with client input having determined specific objectives. This ensures relevance and focus.

In addition, the information gathered through our consulting services is used to further tailor the training we provide to ensure that specific needs are addressed.

Courses Include


Trainee Accountants (TIPP and TOPP)

Provides trainee accountants with the training required by SAICA, with a strong commercial influence. We believe in developing business advisors, not just auditors, with a focus on profitability and responsibility.

The programme is structured to cover relevant skills as trainees progress through their training contracts, teaching those skills as they are needed in the workplace. The programme eventually covers the entire audit process, and includes a simulated audit conducted under supervision.
