Dear SAICA Member/Associate,

All SAICA Members and Associates must indicate their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) compliance by completing and submitting their SAICA Annual Compliance declaration annually

Tax Practitioners registered with SAICA as their Recognised Controlling body must complete and submit a Tax Practitioner annual declaration each year.

Business rescue practitioners must indicate their Continuing Professional Development by completing and submitting their BRP compliance declaration annually.

Please note that the SAICA Annual Compliance, Tax Practitioner and Business Rescue Practitioner annual declarations must be submitted on the SAICA Member Portal. The declarations can be accessed by logging in to the Member Portal.

The failure to complete and submit a declaration is a contravention of the SAICA By-Laws and may constitute non-compliance. Members or associates found to be non-compliant may be referred to the SAICA Member Discipline unit for possible sanctions.

Should you require assistance with the annual declarations, please email saica@saica.co.za or log in to the SAICA Member Portal to log a case.

Kind regards,

SAICA Member Compliance
