Where to do your CA(SA) articles: TIPP vs TOPP •• Auditing vs In Business

[@funzanipetuniandou9750]

Your have explained it so well to those young people who may be interested in this industry. Being someone who did articles ages ago 2006 - 2009 I can completely agree with the Statement regarding putting all your effort as later it will catch up with you. Our director then during induction would tell us to never play with out articles as we will be CA(SA)'s who many not even know how to complete their Tax Return. Being so young and a first year trainee i never understood what he meant . But many years later i eventually understood that he wanted us to show up and be the best so that one do not lack experience as later on after articles they will be expected to show up and know everything. Because once you qualify there is no room for mistake or not knowing. Your sort expected to know . Having 10 years post articles I have met and worked with different CA(SA)s from different Audit firms (TIPP) and or organization (TOPP) and i must say it matters were you do your articles. Although i must say it is an incredible career

Could you please tell us more about CTA and how to pass it

[@BM-dr4eu]

I missed you so much on these streets 😫😫❤️❤️❤️

[@joelneto7534]

Hey hey girl 🙌 this video was so helpful, thanks so much for posting it!!! I wanted to ask you a huge favour. I would like to specialise in tax 😍 I’m a second year bAcc student ( so two years left. 🙌 ) I’ve always been interested in working for a TOPP company. Can you please recommend a few TOPP companies that I should apply to and if you think working in a TIPP company is better please recommend who I should apply to. The more info the better, but I also don’t want to waste your time. Thanks so much for your time and keep up with the great KNOWLEDGEABLE work 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😊

[@nokuhlekumalo]

Hi Joel ☺️ hope you’re good. TOPP companies include Investec, Allan Gray, all the banks (Nedbank, RMB, etc.), Shoprite etc. I’m not sure about what their daily schedule looks like and how tax focused it is - but would suggest trying to find people on LinkedIn who are working those roles and ask to set up a call or inbox Them a few questions. I’m terms of TIPP: you won’t see a lot of tax in your articles to be quite honest. You’ll evaluate basic tax calls and if it’s intense or for a listed company we usually call in a specialised Tax team from the audit firm. So maybe you could still do normal TIPP but then ask to work in the tax department whenever your planning clears up and you have a gap (happens like one a year for like a week , so you don’t really have much flexibility unfortunately but it probably differs from firm to firm).

Hello Nokuhle. I just found your channel. Do undergrad marks matter when you are applying for articles when you have CTA?

[@enhlesammy.m402]

lmaooooooo "I didn't know that this was a contract"

[@serishachetty904]

Can you please speak about internal auditing. What is the difference between a ca and cia

[@mondenkandinkandi2690]

I love it when you speak a little bit of Zulu😂

[@ntebomapaletsebe5075]

Yohh I'm so glad I watched this video I really need to think long and hard about where I want to train but I really want to go the TOPP route because that's where my heart is and I don't like auditing at all but the thought of having to have 75% yeses 😂😂 is this in your CTA or undergrad? Also would you say it's best if one applies for both TOPP & TIPP firms during the CTA and go for whatever comes 1st? Also when it comes to signing the contact do they give you like a time frame of when you should sign it or it's immediate like they put you under pressure to sign? Sorry for asking so many questions 😅

Where do you do your traineeship ?

You had to mention trigonometry.

[@samukelisiwendlela2308]

I have a question how many auditors can each big four company take?

[@nokuhlekumalo]

Can’t really confirm figures but I would say in the JHB offices approx 300 trainees each year. Then SA as a whole would be like 600 trainees (the other trainees split across the other offices). But I’m literally sucking these numbers out my thumb😂 / trying to think of the number of people I’ve seen in trainings. I could be wrong.

Hi. Just found your page and it is really helpful. I just have a few questions. My 2nd sem marks are really low and i am currently about to start my 2nd year. Promised myself I'd work extra hard lol. But in terms of applying to audit firms for my articles how much weighting does the 1st years marks hold? And when exactly should i start applying for my articles?

[@iambloopy]

Thank you for this information. Hopefully I’ll fall into banking!

[@aabidabdallahal-maziya1428]

Why is it that when people mention TIPP they only talk about Auditing. Mentioning Tax and Advisory would be a more wholistic explanation.

[@maikanogaesale756]

Thank you so much for such an informative video. Do you maybe know if doing articles outside public practice equips you with the necessary skills and experience to pass APC? And is it difficult to change after articles from audit practice to business practice and vice versa?? Just incase you don't like where you are or want to explore the other

[@hlengekiledlomo8590]

What about CPA?

[@aneliswamphatseng3893]

If I want to do the CA training through the TOPP route. Do I need to write the CTA

[@reamogtseezer2087]

Yes , topp or tipp you have to write a CTA

[@nokuhlekumalo]

TIPP sometimes allows people without CTA to start their articles early. I know Auditor General, PWC and newly Deloitte allow CTA students to start their articles.

[@lethuthandomaphalala3357]

Do you know anyone who is doing the TOPP route cause I’m looking to go in that direction? But I don’t want jump in and be blindsided. It’s you singing the alphabet company for me 💀💀💀
