In 2018 an agreement was reached with regard to the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) recognition. One of the eligibility requirements of CIMA members (holding the ACMA
or FCMA designation) wishing to obtain the CA(SA) designation is passing the ITC. These CIMA members will be exempt from the requirement to complete a PGDA in order to gain access to the
ITC. CIMA members who enter for the exam without a PGDA will be permitted two ITC attempts over two calendar years, after which they will be required to complete a PGDA at a SAICA
accredited university before being eligible to write again.

The second sitting in one calendar year was introduced for the first time in 2013. Therefore in April 2021, there were no 4th and 6th attempts, see below table for
explanation.
The number of attempts is calculated based on when the candidate completed their accredited post graduate degree academic (PGDA) year and each sitting
counts as an attempt, whether the candidate actually sat for the exam or not.
