Mathematical talent in short supply
PwC transformation geared at bridging the skills gap
Transformation is making significant progress in the accounting profession, but there are still not enough potential chartered accountants to feed the demand from the profession, says Dino Desai, Human Capital Leader at PwC.
"The biggest challenge facing the accounting profession is the equality of the education system," says Desai. "There are too few learners matriculating with good marks in mathematics, which is one of the causes of the skills shortage in the accounting, financial services sector and other disciplines such as engineering."
