Chartering People.
Empowering Finance Teams. Growing GDP.
Every industry has unique financial rules, risks, and opportunities. CIBA partners with sector bodies, gives free training to bookkeepers in the sector, and licenses CBAPs as specialists who keep sectors compliant and growing.
Why We Work by Sector
Every industry fights its own compliance battle
For example, farmers worry about seasonal cashflow. Lawyers about trust accounts. NPOs about deregistration. Artists about royalties.
One mistake can cost not just money, but livelihoods.
That’s why CIBA works sector by sector, training accountants in real rules that matter, giving them the licence to do the work.
The CIBA Sector Initiative
Partner With the Sector
We sign MoUs with leading industry bodies (e.g., AgriSA) to align financial training with industry needs.
Train Bookkeepers
Sector bookkeepers complete a free CIBA course, raising skills and improving compliance across the industry.
License Specialists
CIBA CBAPs complete a sector short course, earning a licence that positions them as the go-to external accountants for that industry.
Partnering with CIBA gives your members access to finance professionals who understand their world. It reduces compliance risks, helps avoid penalties, and strengthens members’ ability to withstand tough seasons.
