Chartered accountants provide hope for Namibia?s professional skills shortage
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Namibia (ICAN) recently announced the results for both the Qualifying Exam 1 (QE 1) in Namibia and the Public Accountants and Auditors Board (PAAB) of the Public Practice exams.
For Namibian would-be chartered accountants, these long-awaited results are key milestones to be achieved on the long and arduous road to qualifying as a chartered accountant. Deloitte announced in a press release the success of its employees in these milestone exams. In the QE 1, 15 Deloitte employees were successful representing 41% of the total passes for Namibia.
?We are particularly proud of our contribution to the transformation of the chartered accountancy profession by noting that the successful Deloitte candidates included 11 black trainees and represented 64% of the total black passes in Namibia. Also of significance is that, of the 15 successful Deloitte candidates, five individuals obtained their undergraduate degrees from the University of Namibia,? it said. The PPE Part II results delivered three successful Deloitte candidates, namely Erik Rodenwoldt, Schalk Pienaar and, Deloitte alumni, Stephne Fourie.
?The highlight of these results is the continued significance of the contribution by Deloitte employees to the overall number of chartered accountants in Namibia, especially in the light of the dire shortage of chartered accountants in Namibia,? said Ramsay McDonald, partner at Deloitte. Junius Mungunda, partner in charge of Deloitte in Namibia, concluded: ?We believe that the success of our firm can be attributed not only to the high calibre of our talented employees, but also to the high level of investment we make in our people in terms of bursaries, training and support.?
According to ICAN, entrance to these exams is a culmination of a long and rigorous academic, training and assessment process aimed at developing the core and professional competence of prospective accountants and auditors.
