Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:

  • The Companies Act and Regulations is yet another piece of legislation that your clients must comply with, and which you must assess compliance with.  If they don’t comply with the relevant laws and regulations, 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 and accountant, you also need to monitor your client’s compliance with the Companies Act and all relevant notices/enforcements/practice notes/customer letters issued by CIPC as the regulator.

  • Company Secretarial staff play a critical role in bridging the gap between entities and CIPC. As legislation, regulations and tax law are continuously changing and evolving, it is of utmost importance for companies and company secretarial practitioners to keep abreast of such changes so that companies continue to meet their compliance obligations.

  • Where you perform these compliance tasks on behalf of your client, you need to ensure that you comply with all relevant notices/enforcements/practice notes/customer letters issued by CIPC as the regulator – especially with regards to processing online director's amendments.

Relevance to Your Clients:

  • An entity (company or close corporation) must comply with the Companies Act, and all relevant notices/enforcements/practice notes/customer letters issued by CIPC as the regulator.

  • Your clients should also be aware of relevant guidance that is issued by the CIPC – especially about processing online director's amendments.
