As these less-known auctioneers begin to gain ground and establish themselves in the market, the South African Institute of Auctioneers (SAIA) is calling on them to join-up and become part of the movement to promote professionalism in the industry.
SAIA was established by auctioneers in 1985 to provide a clear set of industry standards that entrench ethical practices. It represents corporate, small business and individual auctioneers across all disciplines.
The institute sets out to:
- Promote understanding of the profession
- Promote trust in the profession
- Enhance status and trustworthiness of companies
- Setting professional standards
- Provide professional competence-based designations under a recognised professional body
- Guarantee of competence of the duly designated members
- Strong legislative and regulatory foundation that promotes fairness and builds trust in the system
- Support and enforce the standardisation of best practice and compliance in the industry to ensure the protection of both the professional and public interest
- Provide sustainable service to members through standardisation, and meeting demands from stakeholders in the regulatory autonomies and public circles
- Improve the employability and credibility of auctioneers
