Equipping you with the essential theory, practical knowledge and interpersonal skills needed, we aim to empower aspirant Chartered Accountants to carry out their work assignments with confidence and competence.
The course was engaging and I felt free to ask questions to the facilitator when I did not understand a concept. The technical part of the course was very informative, I learnt a lot about Sample Testing and SARPs and through the Case Studies and Quiz we were given an opportunity to apply what we learnt.
The course content was very relevant to the audit work that I am currently performing. I learnt a lot of practical techniques that I will be applying in the future.
I enjoyed how relevant the topics were to my specific stage of my training contract and that we were able to apply the theory to practical case studies to ensure that we have an understanding of the relevant topics covered.
Graeme was very helpful in terms of explaining complex areas that I did not understand when planning for an audit at work
I learned a great deal from this course. The thing I liked most, was that there was more than enough time for the facilitator to work through the course notes + case studies. The training course was not rushed at all, and there was opportunity for questions.
The interaction from the host and the way the course content is brought across using slides and verbal explanations instead of just reading through the course notes. Some of the case studies were done as individuals instead of as a group. This was good as you understood where you went wrong and what mistakes you made instead of just going along with what the majority of the group decided was the correct answers.
Very practical and informative content - The presenter is very knowledgeable.
I learnt more these past two days than I did in auditing at university for 3 years. Graeme really explained so nicely all the concepts and he always encouraged us to share our input.
Learning about testing revenue completeness was quite interesting and applicable. I liked the discussion at the end with you and everyone together better than the rooms, it's just more effective and we got professional feedback on each suggestion which was just a better way to learn things and so much more interesting and understandable as well as I saw more good ideas than I would have in the room - though still nice to connect with others in easier case studies. You explain everything very well, thank you so much for the course! I learnt a huge deal.
Absolutely great presentation, learnt a lot of new ways of determining audit procedures. I am now better prepared as an auditor.
Graeme is so helpful and thorough in his explanations even, if one is on the wrong thought train, he does not bash you down. The whole program is so well set out and the breakout rooms are great to engage with other trainee's and learn from one another.
The above course has broadened my understanding of the audit of trade receivables, trade payables and investments. This will improve my knowledge in the future as well as increase my self esteem when conducting the audit.
The amount of tools that the course delivers is amazing. I have a much clearer plan now of what my thought process will be when faced with ethical dilemmas in future.
I really like how what we discussed can be implemented in our everyday lives during our careers, how it can assist in succeeding in your career, how relevant it is to what happens in our profession, and the also, quite obviously, how it can assist in doing the right things and staying clear of trouble.
The training was extremely detailed and assisted in identifying and explaining the duties/tasks that will need to be performed to ensure that all SAICA requirements and documentation are met/provided. It was well planned, in terms of the breaks provided. The information packs are descriptive and useful.
I liked that facilitator made me reflect on why I want to become a CA and to create goals/objectives for myself by the end of my training contract. I found interesting and helpful the assessment process so I know what will be expecting of me and what areas I can improve if I get low level ratings.
Established in 1995, NSOA offers a series of training workshops dealing primarily with practical auditing skills, required of trainee accountants. We seek to bridge the gap between academic studies and real-world application of audit theory. Additional offerings focused on the development of trainee accountants include ethics training and induction training.
NSOA also provides a variety of support interventions directed at the SAICA assessment process, including assessor training, assessment refreshers, and assessment workshops for trainees and reviewers.
In 2017, NSOA entered into a partnership with Theana Deysel to facilitate NSOA training courses in Pretoria and Johannesburg. In 2022 Theana relocated to the Netherlands from where she continues to deliver our training.
All of our interventions are conducted remotely through Zoom and we facilitate sessions throughout our country as well as in the other countries such as Namibia, Zimbabwe, and the United Kingdom
