Overview 

The Companies Act, 2008 provides for the incorporation, registration, organisation, 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. Furthermore, every practitioner should be fully aware of proposed amendments that will take effect soon, and also recently passed amendments.

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.

Join Russel Ngobeni BAP(SA) on 13 August 2020 from 09:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. as he discusses recent amendments and their effect on your work as well as the CIPC's regulatory duties.
