I have been a member of the audit panel of a private Higher Education institution in South Africa (City Varsity), a member of the audit panel of Sur University College (Oman) and chairperson of the audit panel of Sohar University (Oman). As Senior Director for Institutional Research and Planning at Stellenbosch University, I am responsible for the management of the institutional quality assurance system (including programmes, academic units and support units), higher education policy development, enrolment planning and academic planning, management information (including the institutional performance indicators). I had overall responsibility for the institutional audit of Stellenbosch University in 2005, including the development of the self-assessment portfolio. Since 2008 I am the president of the Southern African Association for Institutional Research (SAAIR).
