edutrain@irba.co.zaI served my articles in a small audit firm,
and this gave me diverse opportunities and
learning experiences from the word go.
Doing my articles at this small firm made
me enjoy auditing. Although stressful a
lot of the time, it challenged me as I was
exposed to all areas of the audit quite early
in my articles. This gave me the full term
of my articles to continue to grow as an
auditor and learn on an ongoing basis.
The firm allowed me to grow in my career,
and this has seen me grow as a person
as well. I started off as a timid trainee and
have now grown into a leader who is an
Prenisha Soobiah
audit partner at this very firm at a young
age of 28. I am forever grateful for the
opportunities I have been given.
On 7 September 2018 I officially became
an audit partner at the firm. My plans are to
grow this business and continue to grow
in knowledge and experience as the firm
grows. My intention is to grow the firm
from a small- to a medium-sized firm. As
a young Indian female, I aim to provide
the opportunities provided to me to other
young individuals who are as passionate
about the audit field as I am.
