Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:

  • COIDA 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.
  • This booklet is intended for all H&S officers, Accident and Incident Investigators, HR practitioners, H&S professionals and any persons with an interest in the COIDA Act and its requirements and the workings of its associated processes, who wish to have a useful source of reference to this in order to assist them with any Workmen's Compensation queries or concerns.
  • As an employer, you also need to comply with ACT in your workplace

Relevance to Your clients:

  • An entity (company or close corporation) has a duty to comply with the COID Act, and directors have to fulfil their duties accordingly, otherwise they could be held liable.
  • This booklet is important because it provides important and useful information on the COIDA Act and its associated processes.
  • By having this booklet, an organisation has access to a useful source of reference that can be used to assist them with any Workmen's Compensation queries or concerns they may have.
