EDUCATION AND TRANSFORMATION cont.
Most CAs I have had a chat with indicated
that a career in auditing is risky and it
requires long hours, but in commerce
there is not much pressure. Personally,
I find auditing fulfilling, and a career that
will expose me to different industries
within a short period. The programme
was an eye opener. When one completes
training articles, one always thinks that
I enjoy the challenge that comes from
moving between clients, the various
environments and industries, on a monthly
basis. I find it incredibly rewarding to
see how clients implement the audit
recommendations made throughout the
engagement. I would encourage other

they have acquired all the skills needed to
be a professional and conquer the world.
The programme helped me to achieve
additional competences and skills that
are important and needed for a registered
auditor to succeed in practice. My future
plan is to join one of the small existing
auditing firms as a partner and help make
that firm competitive in the market.
CAs to participate in the ADP because it
gives you a reason to explore areas that
you might not have been exposed to
before. The additional exposure to higher
responsibilities encouraged me to take in
as much out of the experience as possible.
