SAICA allows training offices to provide trainees exposure to certain residual competencies through simulations. Simulation of experience is an acceptable method of providing trainees with the opportunity to become competent in instances where practical exposure is not readily available in the training office. According to the SAICA Training Regulations, trainees must gain a BASIC understanding of the concepts and techniques, and must be able to apply these concepts and techniques in simple, uncomplicated situations or environments. The course focus on capital budgeting techniques - in order to aid management in the making of finance and investment decisions. The following competencies will be assessed: FM(R) 1: Evaluates the entity's financial situation FM(R) 4: Evaluates capital investment decisions

After attending the course, delegates will have gained a basic understanding on the competencies mentioned below, and must be able to apply the concepts and techniques in simple, uncomplicated situations or environments. Our ultimate goal is to provide the trainees the necessary training and practical exposure to proof a level 4 competency skill at a basic level for residual skills. This involves pre-course work, in-class discussions and exercises as well as evaluation and feedback. Based on SAICA's latest CA Training Programme, a level four (4) sign-off is required at a basic level for all Residual Skills. After submission of the PoE file an accredited SAICA Assessor will evaluate the contents of the submission against the SAICA CA Training programs competency skills requirements (level 4 sign-off at a basic level). Feedback will be given on an individual basis, also involving response by the training officer and trainee and recommendations where necessary.
