AccountAbility Magazine is a regular annual window on the progress and achievements of the School of Accountancy. We have decided on the name, AccountAbility, for several reasons: • The first is the most obvious: our ability to do accounting lies at the heart of our core business. • The second is in the meaning of the word ‘accountability’, which colours our activities with the suggestion of a public obligation reaching beyond the basic teaching of professional skills. To begin with, we are seriously committed, and are accountable to our students and supporters, to righting the racial imbalance that has traditionally plagued the ranks of Chartered Accountants (CAs) in South Africa. In addition, we are as seriously committed to the production of CAs with the sort of professional financial integrity of which South Africa has been in dire need in recent years.
