Southern Region Council 2012/2013
The Council is comprised of 17 CAs(SA) who are active in the Council and the District Associations. Our strategic objectives are to implement national strategies at a regional and district level, and to serve our members' needs.
Each Council member has a portfolio that they actively represent. Some of the portfolios that Council members retain include education, members in business, large practices, small practices and transformation. Chairmen from the three Southern Region District Associations also sit on the Council, which convenes at least once every quarter.

Senior Partners Forums
The role of the forum is to identify the needs of, and promote the interests of, members in large practices. Members of the forum include the senior audit partners of the various larger audit firms within the Western Cape.
The forum also exists to improve communication between SAICA and the larger audit firms, as well as with the rest of the profession. Topics currently being debated include:
- transformation and growth – skills shortage in South Africa with specific reference to CAs(SA) in the audit profession,
- the Companies Act– its effects on business and the audit profession,
- marketing of the CA(SA) profession, and
- stakeholder relationships
