Auditing firms offer top pay to attract staff
10 April 2007 at 04h00

There is such a shortage of personnel in auditing and general accounting firms in Cape Town that top salaries are being offered to attract the right staff, says Geoffrey Allison, MD of Isilumko Accountants, a recruitment company. There are a number of reasons for the shortage, including the rapidly growing Cape economy which has resulted in increased company growth. Another factor is the pressure on firms to improve their corporate governance, after several high profile cases of financial mismanagement.

"Articled clerks tend to move to other firms before completing their articles, mainly due to financial incentives. This has resulted in a lack of second- and third-year articled clerks," said Allison."Higher up the personnel scale audit managers are in great demand, especially at the larger auditing and accounting companies."
