How to get an accounting job

Additional types of accounting include auditing, tax accounting, accounting for the environment, and management accounting.

You can start the process of becoming qualified by enrolling in a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting, Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance, or an equivalent diploma programme at any recognised educational establishment. Prerequisites for diploma and degree programmes include a National Senior Certificate.
To become a registered Professional Accountant (SA), you must either receive a degree or diploma from a school recognised by the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA), complete a three-year learnership at an institution recognised by SAIPA, or have six years of experience in the field. In order to prove that you can successfully combine your academic and professional skills, you will also need to take the SAIPA Professional Evaluations examination.
