Does your postgraduate diploma in accounting need to be SAICA accredited?

It is essential that students interested in the field of finance and accounting or who dream of
pursuing a career as a Chartered Accountant (CA), acquiring a professionally accredited
qualification.

Regent Business School offers a SAICA-accredited Post Graduate Diploma in Accounting
(PGDA) that will equip one with the essential skills and knowledge needed to gain senior
finance positions.

The PGDA is a one-year course that integrates the study of theory and the practical application
of financial accounting, auditing, taxation, and managerial accounting and finance which
prepares students for the Initial Test of Competence (ITC) or the Board 1 examination set by the
South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA).

The integration of the extensive four modules enables the student to apply a dynamic and practical
approach to solving real-world problems. Students learn skills and knowledge necessary to
further develop themselves as business leaders or entrepreneurs.

After the completion of the course, students are adequately prepared for a career as a
Chartered Accountant. The CA career choice is in high demand and is financially rewarding.

A PGDA needs to be accredited by SAICA to ensure that the required professional standards
are met to access the ITC exams. Students are advised to choose a PGDA course that is
SAICA-accredited if they want access to the ITC exams to pursue a career as a Chartered
Accountant.
