Fasset is a Schedule 3A public entity whose Executive Authority is the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology. We are accountable to Parliament and our performance management and financial administration is monitored by National Treasury. We engage with a broad range of stakeholders to fulfil our mandate, which requires us to make a meaningful contribution in skills development for the benefit of the Fasset sector and the country, while adhering to sound governance principles. Transforming the South African economy is a government imperative to which SETAs must respond through their programmes and interventions. Fasset has driven transformation in the finance and accounting sector for 19 years, to effect dramatic and radical change to the sector’s demographic profile and, in so doing, create a robust and sustainable industry. We see transformation as non-negotiable, but as a critical component of nation building.
