Global consulting firm Protiviti has expanded its member firm network to South Africa. The provider of internal audit services announced today that it has added SekelaXabiso CA (SkX) as its newest member firm. SkX is one of the largest internal audit and risk consulting firms in South Africa with more than 200 consulting professionals providing internal, IT and forensic audit services, as well as other consulting services to clients across South Africa. It is the latest move by Protiviti to grow its share of the lucrative $34 billion internal audit services market.
Led by Chairman Abel Dlamini and CEO Lindani Dhlamini, SkX will continue to offer its services to global companies looking for on-the-ground expertise in South Africa and to local companies looking for a firm with an international footprint to provide reliable consulting services. South Africa, poised for sustained economic growth over the next few decades, has a sophisticated financial structure, including the world’s 18th largest stock exchange based on total market capitalization.
“As a global firm, it’s essential that we have a strong presence in Africa to serve both local and global clients,” said Andrew Clinton, executive vice president of international operations at Protiviti. “SkX is well positioned for growth as a member firm based on the brand reputations of both SkX and Protiviti, as well as SkX’s impressive set of clients and ability to capitalize on local market opportunities.”
In addition to internal audit services, SkX provides clients in South Africa with transaction advisory, performance improvement, supply chain management and financial advisory services. SkX Chairman Dlamini is also on the board of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors in South Africa.
Protiviti now operates a network of more than 80 offices in over 20 countries, through which Protiviti and its independently owned member firms provide clients with consulting solutions in finance, technology, operations, data, analytics, governance, risk and internal audit. Protiviti member firms provide local knowledge and expertise to deliver services and solutions in countries around the world. Protiviti member firms are independent and locally owned consulting firms, are not agents of Protiviti.
