Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:
The COID Act 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 employer, you also need to submit your Return of Earnings on time.
If you are performing this function on behalf of your clients, you need to ensure that the deadline is met.
