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.
- You should be aware of additional information that is published by the Department of Labour, insofar as it will affect the ROE submission.
- If you are performing this function on behalf of your clients, you need to ensure that the deadline is met.
Relevance to Your Clients:
- As an employer, a client of yours would need to submit your Return of Earnings on time.
- Clients should be aware of additional information that is published by the Department of Labour, insofar as it will affect the ROE submission.
