THE Institute of Chartered Accountants of Zimbabwe (ICAZ) says it is overhauling the CA(Z) qualification to enhance skills relevant in the contemporary environment.
Fungai Kuipa, ICAZ’s president said the institute is aware of the changing world and is preparing for the future.
“Yesterday’s accountant and the future accountant are worlds apart… ICAZ is embarking on a significant overhaul to the Chartered Accountant qualification termed Chartered Accountant 2025 (CA2025), which is aimed to enhance our skills sets, exposures and knowledge to be relevant to the future,” Kuipa said at a recent graduation ceremony for accounting professionals in Harare last week.
“This will ensure the required move from a technical accountant to a strategic accountant.
“Robotics will do the technical work in the future, thankfully robots can’t think, so that is the space we need to be in, strategic thinking and contribution as far as financial management,” he said.
