The South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA) has been recognised by Standard Bank Top Women as one of South Africa’s Top Gender Empowered Companies for 2025. The certificate was received on behalf of the organisation by Noma Mpofana, Laverne Leibrandt, and Angy Mokgethwa.

This recognition reflects SAIPA’s ongoing commitment to gender equality, inclusive leadership, and creating opportunities for women across the accountancy profession.

Studies show that organisations with higher female representation in leadership often result to up to 35% stronger outcomes in innovation and performance. By creating an environment where women can grow and excel, SAIPA is not only strengthening its organisational culture but also helping to shape the future of the accountancy profession in South Africa.

To the upcoming female accountancy professionals, this award serves as an inspiration: your potential is limitless. With dedication, resilience, and supportive structures, women can lead, innovate, and make a lasting impact in fields that have traditionally been male-dominated.

For SAIPA, being named a Top Gender Empowered Company, reflects inclusion, equity and encourages female talent. We hope this recognition inspires the next generation of women in accountancy to pursue leadership roles and break barriers in the profession.

As a Professional Accountancy Organisation (PAO) dedicated to ethics, integrity, and public trust, SAIPA continues to set the standard for professional excellence, confirming that empowering women isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s smart business.

Here’s to supporting and empowering even more women to follow in their footsteps!
