During this period, you must complete two qualifying examinations: the Initial Test of Competence and the Assessment of Professional Competence. Once you have completed the initial test and a 20-month internship with an accredited training office, will be able to sit the Assessment of Professional Competence. Once you have passed that, you will be eligible to register with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants as a chartered accountant, and the <\/span><b>accounting science jobs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> open to you thereafter are likely to carry very attractive salaries.
