ABOUT THE BURSARY PROVIDER – SAICA

The South African Institute of Certified Accountants (SAICA) is the country’s top accountancy organization. It was first established in 1894 in Johannesburg as the “Institute of Auditors and Accountants.” It is one of the leading organizations in the world that provides its members with the necessary support and advice throughout their professional careers.

In 1987, the SAICA collaborated with the PAAB and the ABASA to establish the CAs’ Eden Trust, which provided financial support to black individuals who were struggling to finish their studies. The name of the fund was then changed in 2002. It has since been renamed the Thuthuka Bursary Fund. Through this program, the organization has been able to provide financial assistance to disadvantaged students who are hoping to become CAs.
