Overview   

The Companies Act, 2008 provides for the incorporation, registration, organization, management, and capitalisation of companies. It also defines the relationships between companies and their shareholders and directors/members.  

It is vital that everyone who is in the accounting field understands and can practically apply the Act's provisions in their daily duties. This is especially true for bookkeepers who work with and are responsible for the integrity of the financial records every single day. 

The purpose of this webinar is not to discuss all the legal provisions of the Act but to highlight the parts of the Act that affect the bookkeeper/accountant's day-to-day roles and to give practical tips on documentation to keep as part of the bookkeeping process. 

Join Nestene Botha CA(SA) on 23 September 2021 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. as she discusses the importance of the Companies Act in the bookkeeping role as well as recent important amendments to the Act.
