IRBA reappoints Agulhas for another term

Bernard Agulhas, CEO: IRBA

"The reputation and image of the auditing and accounting professions need a resolute and committed leader to restore trust, and ensure the continued confidence of investors, business, government and other stakeholders at a time when the country will benefit from financial market stability and investor confidence," says Abel Dlamini, chairman of the board.

"We believe that Bernard, with his vast understanding of the profession and oversight, locally and internationally, is in the ideal position to help the board to navigate these issues successfully. His commitment to the public interest and strengthening the independence of auditors will be key to this, as will his ability to ensure that the IRBA remains responsive to the dynamic environment in which it exercises its oversight responsibilities.”
