Target was set at 80 per cent of occupancy levels. This target was exceeded as the AGSA achieved 89 per cent. The achievement ascribed mainly to the establishment of a Recruitment Centre of Excellence to deal with scarce skills in the auditing environment, a trainee auditor retention strategy and a comprehensive salary benchmarking in the market. Achievement also attributed to increased numbers of audit professionals who passed their final qualifying examinations and completed their practical experience by 73 per cent from the 2009/10 financial year.
