**Note 1 - Both Milpark Education and Institute of Accounting Science Institutions had graduates from a midyear intake (starting June 2019) on their SAICA accredited programmes - these candidates' first sitting is therefore the November 2020 ITC. CIMA candidates are afforded 2 opportunities, hence some CIMA candidates are repeaters, others 1st timers.

** Note 4: In 2018 an agreement was reached with regard to the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) recognition. One of the eligibility requirements of CIMA members (holding the ACMA or FCMA designation) wishing to obtain the CA(SA) designation is passing the ITC. These CIMA members will be exempt from the requirement to complete a PGDA in order to gain access to the ITC. CIMA members who enter for the exam without a PGDA will be permitted two ITC attempts over two calendar years, after which they will be required to complete a PGDA at a SAICA accredited university before being eligible to write again.

** Note 5: Milpark Education obtained full accreditation of their PGDA in 2019, academic year starting June 2019 (midyear start). Therefore no candidates in Jan 2020 and candidates' frist attempt is from Nov 2020. IIE (VC) bought out Monash SA (MSA) in 2019, thus the 2020 ITC results onwards reflects a combined campus count from all of the accredited Varsity College (VC) campuses which now include the previous MSA Ruimsig campus as part of the IIE accredited programme Regent Business School obtained full accreditation of their PGDA effective from the start of the 2020 academic year.
