Message from the ABASA President

As we embark on the final quarter of the year, it is with great pleasure and immense gratitude that I take this opportunity to reflect on the remarkable journey we have undertaken in the last few months. In the spirit of reaching new milestones and giving back to those who are coming behind us, I am truly honored to share our accomplishments and our vision for the future.

The ABASA Professional Excellence Dinners have been a shining beacon of our commitment to acknowledging and celebrating the outstanding achievements of newly qualified accountants who have successfully passed their final qualifying exams. These individuals, poised to receive their well-deserved designations, exemplify the dedication and perseverance it takes to reach new heights in our profession. They are a testament to what can be achieved through hard work, resilience and unwavering focus.

As we look back on these dinners, I am reminded of the words of wisdom "Success is not about reaching a destination; it's about the journey, the people you meet along the way, and the impact you make." We, as ABASA, are not only celebrating the achievements of these remarkable individuals but also acknowledging the collective effort of our community in nurturing and supporting their growth.

Special acknowledgment goes to our headline sponsor, Investec, whose unwavering support over the years in ensuring that these dinners are a resounding success.

We also recognize and appreciate the contributions of all our stakeholders - AICPA & CIMA, ACCA, AGSA, SAICA, SAIPA, MASA, BDO, EY, Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG, MNBCA, Lepelle Northern Waters, Zamindlela Consulting. Your commitment to ABASA and the accounting profession is commendable, and your support has been instrumental in our continued success.

Well done to all of our branch leaders and their executive teams for their extraordinary work and driving leadership excellence.
