The Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences School of Accountancy (SoA) graduates have once again demonstrated their exceptional talent and dedication. The January 2025 Initial Assessment of Competence (IAC) results from the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) were recently released, with the SoA 2024 students achieving an impressive 98% pass rate, surpassing the national pass rate of 82%.
Adding to this achievement, two of SoA graduates ranked in the Top 10 nationally:
- Corbin Stander (3rd place)
- Elizabeth Smith (8th place)
Furthermore, five of SoA candidates, including Corbin and Elizabeth, passed the exam with honours (75% or more).
Prof Stiaan Lamprecht, Acting Director of the School of Accountancy, shared: "The School of Accountancy is very proud of its results. At Stellenbosch, we are privileged to attract excellent students, have exceptional lecturers, and deliver our programmes in world-class facilities. When these elements come together, such amazing results are a testament to the collaborative efforts of the faculty."
