The CPrac (SA) designation is registered with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). The CPrac (SA) designation focuses on the fundamental aspects of compliance and is awarded to candidates who meet the relevant knowledge and work experience requirements. The foundation of the designation is the 2024 Generally Accepted Compliance Practice (GACP) framework, King IV and Code of Ethical and Professional conduct​.
