With just over 25 000 Chartered Accountants in South Africa, universities are not even meeting the demands of the four main accounting and financial services firms in the country.


Graduates of the Wits School of Accountancy consistently achieve excellent results in the SA Institute for Chartered Accountants (SAICA) Qualifying Examinations – and are eagerly sought by major firms such as KPMG, Ernst & Young, Deloittes and Price Waterhouse Coopers.

With the intention of increasing the number of professionals in the accounting sector and ensuring the continuity of world class training, the School upgraded and extended its facilities in the FNB Building.

Included was the construction of two new lecture theatres, additional tutorial rooms and postgraduate facilities, the building of an undergraduate computer resource centre and the renovation of the existing building.

Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande, officially opened the new building on 7 April, 2011.

We extend grateful thanks to all who contributed towards this project, including the Department of Education, the First Rand Foundation, PWC and other leading accounting and auditing firms in South Africa.

The School of Accountancy at Wits University is one of the premier institutions for professional accountancy education on the continent. It offers world class training in four specialisation areas:

  • Financial Accounting
  • Auditing
  • Management Accounting and Finance
  • Taxation.

The School is also renowned for its professional programmes and advanced degrees in Chartered Accountancy, Internal auditing, Computer auditing and its Master of Commerce programmes.

The School enjoys the support of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), government and all the major audit firms.
