Roadshow 2026
Compliance. Growth. Professionalisation.
Four cities. Five regulators. One half-day programme repeated across the country, built to help finance professionals get on top of compliance, grow their practices, and professionalise their finance teams.
One programme. Four provinces. Five regulators in the room.
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.
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.
What we changed after last year.
2025 worked. The programme keeps what landed and fixes what the feedback said needed fixing. Four substantive changes, not cosmetic ones.
Five regulators, one morning
SARS and CIPC carried the regulatory load in 2025. In we have added the Office of the Tax Ombud, UIF, and COIDA. You get the full compliance picture in a single sitting.
The professional pathway, made explicit
Two new sessions cover Corporate Membership and the ATO programme. If you are trying to build a stronger finance team or set up your own training pipeline, this is the year to come.
Less theory, more application
Every session is anchored to a real audit trigger, a real compliance failure, or a real practitioner question. You leave with things you can actually do, not things you can talk about doing.
Tighter programme, room to breathe
Fewer fragmented slots, longer regulator sessions, and sponsor contributions woven properly into the flow instead of bolted on. The day moves better.
A full half-day across four cities.
The programme runs identically in each city, giving every region the same regulator-authoritative briefings, CIBA leadership sessions, and practitioner insight.
Seats are limited. Reserve yours.
The programme is the same in every city, so pick the one closest to you.
The people in the room.
Speakers come from the regulators themselves and from inside CIBA. No proxies, no second-hand interpretation.

One day that pays off all year.
Six reasons it's worth a morning of your time.
Straight from the regulator
SARS, the Office of the Tax Ombud, UIF, COIDA, and CIPC are all in the room. No proxies, no interpretation, no second-hand notes from someone's webinar. You leave knowing what each one expects from you in 2026.
Built around real cases
Every session is anchored to an actual audit trigger, a real compliance failure, or a question a practitioner sent us. The theory is in the room because the application is.
A clear professional pathway
Two sessions cover Corporate Membership and the ATO programme. If you're trying to build a stronger finance team, claim tax incentives properly, or set up your own training pipeline, this is where the answers live.
Sponsor slots that earn their place
Ten minutes each. Insight, tool, or demonstration only. We brief every sponsor, and we review their content beforehand. No pitches.
The lunch is where it happens
Regulators stay for lunch. So does CIBA's leadership. The networking session is the moment most attendees say was worth the day on its own.
CPD that counts
Roadshow attendance counts toward your CPD requirement. Complimentary for CIBA Members on Channel 2.
Thank you to our sponsors.
The Roadshow happens because these partners back it. We are grateful for their support.
