In addition, Mr Nika has also been appointed as Chairman of the combined audit and risk committee. His wealth of experience in the accounting and reporting field will prove invaluable. Mr Nika is a qualified Chartered Accountant. In 1988, after completing his articles with WL Nkuhlu and Company (in association with Hoek and Wiehahn subsequently merged with PWC), he joined Anglo American as an internal auditor at head office. In 1989 he joined Shell as a (chemicals) divisional financial manager and after three years, he was assigned to Shell’s headquarters in London where he initially served as a technical finance accountant, responsible for advising operating companies worldwide on accounting technical developments and later joined Group consolidation and reporting. On his return in 1997, he became a regional audit manager responsible for all SADC Shell operating companies and after three months was recruited by Eskom as a Corporate Executive Audit manager responsible for the entire audit function of Eskom. In 2000 he joined DBSA as a CFO and left in 2002 to join PetroSA in a similar role, which role he holds to date. PetroSA had just been formed through a merger of Soekor, Mossgas and parts of SFF and Mr Nika was responsible for merging and designing policies, system and procedures of the three different entities. In the time that Mr Nika was with Eskom, he was active with the Institute of Internal Auditors and the development of Internal Audit profession and function in the country. Whilst at PetroSA, he championed the aspect of transparency and governance within the State Owned Company context. Mr Nika has also served on a number of boards as non-executive director as well as chaired numerous audit committees. The board welcomes Mr Nika and looks forward to gaining from his valuable insight and experience.
