According to Stats SA, the Finance, Real Estate and Business Services sector was the single biggest contributor to South Africa’s GDP growth in 2025, adding 0.5 percentage points to the country’s 1.1% expansion. That is the sector accountants sit inside. The Roadshow is one of the levers we use to make sure it stays that way.
The job has changed. Five years ago, an accountant who knew SARS inside and out was already covered. Today the same accountant also needs to keep up with CIPC, the Tax Ombud, UIF, COIDA, and a long tail of statutory expectations that didn’t exist in their current form a decade ago.
That is the practical problem the Roadshow exists to solve. Each event puts five regulators in the same room as the practitioners who deal with them every day. Add CIBA’s leadership and technical team, and you have one morning that covers the full compliance picture, the growth side, and the professional pathway sitting behind it.
The format is simple. Half a day, no fluff, every session focused on what you can actually do with the information when you get back to your desk on Monday.
