Standard Bank: CA Training Programme 2018
The CA (SA) Training Programme is a training route for accounting trainees who want to qualify as Chartered Accountants (SA). The Programme was established in July 1997, motivated by the move of qualified CAs (SA) to the private industry and has grown to produce a number of chartered accountants. The name has since been changed to the CA (SA) Training Programme. On the CA (SA) Training Programme, training is provided through commerce and industry, as opposed to the traditional route of audit firms.
