Product Information

Rising compliance burdens, shifting tax regulations, and economic uncertainty are making it increasingly difficult for accountants to provide strategic financial guidance. With inflation, interest rates, and unemployment trends shaping business decisions in 2025, understanding the implications of the national budget is critical.

The CPD Budget Breakfast 2025 provides a clear breakdown of these challenges, featuring Senior Researcher Duma Gqubule , Gauteng MEC Lebogang Maile, and CIBA CEO Nicolaas van Wyk. Johan Heydenrych will offer a practical analysis of tax amendments and compliance updates. This session delivers the insights needed to help finance professionals manage risk, align with policy changes, and support clients through economic shifts.

What will set you apart

A Clear Understanding of Economic and Policy Shifts– Senior Researcher Duma Gqubule will break down South Africa’s economic outlook, explaining how inflation, interest rates, and unemployment will impact businesses and financial decision-making in 2025.
