Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:
-
The Income Tax Act is yet another piece of legislation that your clients must comply with, and which you must assess compliance with. Suppose they don’t comply with the relevant laws and regulations. In that case, you have certain reporting obligations in terms of NOCLAR (Non-Compliance with Laws And Regulations) – this could include reporting to management, qualifying your audit opinion, reporting a Reportable Irregularity, etc.
-
As an auditor, independent reviewer, accountant and tax practitioner, you need to consider amendments that result from the annual budget speech and are enacted into law.
-
Tax practitioners play a critical role in bridging the gap between taxpayers and SARS. As legislation, regulations and tax law are continuously changing and evolving, it is of utmost importance for companies and tax practitioners to keep abreast of such changes so that entities and taxpayers continue to meet their tax obligations.
