Overview      

POPIA stands as national legislation imperative for compliance among your clientele, and consequently, mandates diligent oversight from accountants. Within this framework, accountants bear specific reporting responsibilities under NOCLAR (Non-Compliance with Laws and Regulations). These obligations encompass actions such as reporting identified non-compliance to management, evaluating the appropriate disclosure of such instances in annual financial statements, issuing qualified audit opinions, and reporting non-compliance as reportable irregularities.
