Overview   

The "new" Companies Act became effective on the 1st of May 2009 and has now matured to a point where it is now being taken for granted 11 years later. Having said that, it is vital that everyone in the accounting/auditing fraternity understands the basics of this cornerstone legislation of the corporate world.     

Our Back to Basics Companies Act Series is designed for the accountant who is just starting out, as well as the practitioner that wants a refresher course on the Companies Act and how it has settled down into the South African corporate landscape.   

 This series with our technical expert Caryn Maitland CA(SA, is structured into bite-sized pieces that are topic related and designed to give an overview and insight into the Act and its day-to-day practical application. 

Join Caryn Maitland CA(SA) on 26 June 2020 from 09:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. for this first session where she discusses calculating the Public Interest Score and its impact on assurance.
