Founder of Oak, Mark Chasey, has been elected the EMEA sub-region member representative for the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA).
Mark qualified as a CA(SA) whilst doing articles in Johannesburg with Pim Goldby (now Deloitte) and has been a member of SAICA since 1984. He has been living in the Channel Islands since 1997. Having worked for Ernst and Young in Jersey, he formed Oak Trust (Guernsey) Limited in 1999 which became part of the Oak Group in 2017.
Mark commented on his appointment: “Despite living and working in the Channel Islands for well over 20 years, my roots are in South Africa. I understand first-hand the importance of ensuring that the SAICA members living outside South Africa’s borders receive the support they need and seeing to it that they benefit fully from their membership. I’m incredibly pleased to be taking the position of EMEA Sub-Region Member Representative and look forward to fulfilling this essential mandate for the next couple of years.” Read the full story here.
