NewRA logo unveiled
The IRBA has unveiled a new logo for Registered Auditors
(RA). This is a culmination of the process of registering the RA
designation with the South African Qualifications Authority
(SAQA).
“We are excited about this development as this is another step
towards raising awareness of the RA specialisation. Our RAs
will now be able to use the designation and the RA logo next to
their names and on their stationery,” said Bernard Agulhas,
CEOof the IRBA.
Kenosi has also served on the boards of PUSH (Persevere
Until Something Happens), a non-profit organisation, and The

We welcome the new Chairman and board and are confident
that they will further enhance and support the IRBA's mandate
of public protection.

that there are no practising Registered Auditors (RAs) on the
board. The eight member board was appointed by the Minister
