Upholding the Highest Professional and Ethical Standards
- Prior to receiving approval as an ATC, both Accounting Practices and Corporate applicants must undergo a comprehensive accreditation process. This process is essential to ensure that the quality of development aligns with the necessary “Best Practice” standards.
- All ATC applicants will be subject to an assessment of their proposed learning systems. A detailed report stemming from this evaluation will be provided to the applicant as valuable feedback.
- Following the approval of the ATC, continuous monitoring and quality assurance of development activities will be diligently maintained by SAIPA Assessors.
- ATC quality audits will be conducted through an online desktop review.
- SAIPA Assessors will conduct onsite visits at least once annually (upon request of the ATC or initiated by SAIPA) and desktop reviews are conducted virtually during the learnership., utilizing the ATC Monitoring Site Visit Report Tool, particularly during the trainees’ final year.
