AAT in South Africa
The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants in South Africa decided to sponsor the AAT program and expand it in South Africa since 2011. AAT(SA) has no signatory powers for any of its South African members, this is because there is not sufficient audit content within the qualification offered. SAICA and AAT are working towards gaining authority in a number of other areas, such as Commissioner of Oaths and Review status. This sort of authority does take time to approve and the new South African Company Legislation is also not yet finalised.

“The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.”

“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
