South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) Student Leadership Summit Essay Competition 2017

the south african institute of chartered accountants(SAICA)is passionate about creating a dialogue that will help to take the economy, and indeed the country, forward. But SAICA does not expect this kind of engagement only from members of the profession. The Institute also requires those studying towards becoming members of the profession to embrace the values of ‘responsible leadership’ that are entrenched in its strategic pillars. One of the ways this is done is through the annual SAICA Student Leadership Summit (SLS). Entries for the 2017 SLS are now open.
SLS is a thought leadership essay competition. Through SLS we aim to get BCom CA(SA) stream students at SAICA accredited institutions not only to think about their own circumstances but to devise solutions to problems that confront our country or the world at large. Every year, we set three thought leadership topics, and ask these students to submit their opinion and, in some cases, conduct research that illustrates their solutions to the issues raised during the essay part of the competition.
‘From these entries, we select the top 30 students who have best illustrated their thought leadership capability, and invite them to Johannesburg for a two-day thought leadership summit. On the first day, we have a networking event where the students are given the opportunity to interact with key business leaders and find out more about how responsible leadership works in the real world. The following day, the students participate in a leadership workshop with various facilitators to help them unlock their unique leadership potential. In addition to this, the top three winning essays will receive some amazing prizes.’
How do students enter?
To enter, students must submit a thought leadership essay of no more than 1 000 words on one of the following topics:

1. Technology is changing the traditional ways accountants and auditors do business. Outline the risks the profession faces in this regard as well as how the role of the accountant needs to evolve to keep pace with the world of work and remain relevant.
2. South Africa is a country with an extreme and dangerously wide wealth gap. If left unchecked, this gap could lead to the rise of populist politics which have been described as “the paranoid style of politics of them and us”. This could further lead to unabated civil protest with the potential of bringing the entire country to a standstill. As a concerned citizen and a budding chartered accountant, how can you use your acquired academic and leadership skills towards building a nation based on humanity, trust, a thriving economy, good governance, equality as well as other national values so as to ultimately improve the country’s combined quality of life?
3. In light of South Africa’s recent downgrade to junk status, how would you sell the country as a viable investment to overseas investors and what do you believe South African citizens can do to turn the junk status perception around? 

How to Enter
The SLS competition is open only to students who are studying towards a BCom CA(SA) qualification at a SAICA accredited institution.
To enter, email your 1 000 world essay to slscompetition@saica.co.za by no later than 25 August 2017. Include the following information with your entry: full name, contact number, name of university and degree you are studying, student number, email address and word count for your essay.
For any queries regarding entries, please contact SAICA Project Director, Teboho Moephudi at tebohom@saica.co.za.

A Business Plan is crucial to the success of any business. An effective business plan is defined as follows:

A formal statement of a set of business goals, the reasons why they are believed attainable, and the plan for reaching those goals. It serves as a roadmap to achieve your goals
