Abstract

This study aimed at determining the readiness of South African Public Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges to operate in the 4IR. An assessment of the indicators deemed to prove readiness by the researchers of this study basing on literature was conducted through virtually interviewing public TVET College Principals, Deputy Principals Academic, Human Resources Managers and ICT Managers. A purposive sample of 26 from a population of 50 public TVET colleges proportionally representing the 9 provinces of South Africa was identified. The interviews were video recorded and later transcribed. From the findings it was concluded that most of the public TVETs realised the importance of readiness for 4IR as they got a push from Covid-19 and started or intensified preparing but were not completely ready due to lack of or inadequate teaching and learning technologies, training for teaching staff on the use of available technology; poor connectivity; lack of computing equipment; lack of ICT infrastructure; lack of ICT Strategies; and above all lack of policy directive. The findings could be used by the South African government to inform policy formulation and supporting higher education and training as a response to demands of 4IR to promote readiness by public TVETs to operate in the era characterised by intense technological changes.

Abstract

Objective Arguably, there is a shortage of research on how supreme audit institutions can use cutting-edge technologies to make them more effective and stay up with the evolving audit landscape as we are in the 4IR age. Professional auditing and accounting groups encourage using cutting-edge technologies in accounting and auditing duties. However, public sector auditing is trailing behind in the digital transition. Guidelines regarding the elements that superior audit institutions must consider when implementing cutting-edge technologies are still required. This paper fills the gap in the literature by providing technology adoption factors that have been verified for usefulness and practicability and then evaluated in order of significance by experts from eight different countries. Therefore, the findings and recommendations of the paper are applicable and relevant on a global scale.Design/Methodology Experts were consulted to validate and rate the importance and practicability of the variables and processes for technology adoption using two Delphi questionnaires.Results The technology adoption factors identified were assistance from top management, a plan for embracing technology, and fostering an environment focused on digital culture. Assessing the current systems for compliance with legislation, organization-wide preparation, and the ability to incorporate new technology, ongoing staff training, regulatory compliance, environmental policies, and audit standards are necessary. Evaluating the technology's compatibility and complexity, doing a cost-benefit analysis, and determining whether the auditee platforms are ready for advanced technology auditing were rated as important technology adoption factors by experts.
