Professional Development
A SAICA training contract is the practical workplace component of the CA(SA) development route. The work exposes trainees to audit planning, client records, financial reporting and tax compliance while they build the professional competencies required by the training programme. The George office works with small, medium and large business clients, giving trainees the opportunity to encounter different financial and operational environments.
Candidate Profile
Moore is looking for self-motivated team players who communicate effectively, are willing to learn and can work under pressure. The role requires the trainee to balance technical accuracy with deadlines and client interaction. These attributes are important because audit work involves evidence gathering, documentation, review processes and communication with both internal team members and clients.
About Moore Southern Cape
Moore Southern Cape provides auditing, accounting, tax and financial advisory services from George in the Garden Route. The office forms part of the Moore Global network, giving trainees local client exposure within a broader international professional-services environment.
Exposure Across Client Work
Moore Southern Cape works with clients of different sizes and across different business environments. For a trainee, this can create varied exposure when completing audits, independent reviews, financial statements and tax work. The practical experience is important because the SAICA Training Programme requires trainees to build professional competencies through real assignments rather than academic study alone.
Financial Reporting and Tax Experience
The listed responsibilities extend beyond audit fieldwork. Trainees may prepare annual financial statements, calculate tax liabilities for companies, trusts and individuals, complete income-tax returns through SARS eFiling and calculate provisional tax. This combination helps the trainee understand how audit, accounting and tax work connect within a professional-services practice.
