Transnet’s CA Training (CAT) Programme – Background:<\/u><\/p>\n

Training of accountants is critical both for Transnet and the country as a whole.<\/p>\n

South Africa has a shortage of accountants especially black accountants.<\/p>\n

Transnet has accepted the responsibility to develop the scarce skills in light of the greater objectives of the country.<\/p>\n

The CA Training (CAT) Programme in Transnet is a strategic intervention to train prospective Chartered Accountants to meet the skills requirements of South Africa in the Accountancy field. Transnet has been an accredited training office with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) from 1997.<\/p>\n

The CAT Programme at Transnet is a three-year leadership programme for candidates who have a Certificate in the Theory of Accounting (CTA) \/ B Compt Hons or equivalent.<\/p>\n

The stringent requirements of SAICA demand that trainees receive extensive training in Financial Management, Management Decision-Making, Financial Accounting, Internal Audit & Corporate Governance, Auditing & Assurance and Taxation.<\/p>\n

This also includes the professional skills like interpersonal & communication skills, intellectual skills, personal skills, and organizational & management skills.<\/p>\n

In Transnet, the trainees will be rotated to the head office and several of its business units, e.g. Transnet National Ports Authority, Transnet Pipelines, Transnet Freight Rail, etc.<\/p>\n

The rotation will be tailored to meet the needs of the trainee and the respective business unit, with the trainee spending at least one-third of the practical training in one business.<\/p>\n
