Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:

The Companies 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 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 issued by CIPC as the regulator.
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 issued by CIPC as the regulator.

Relevance to Your clients:

An entity (company or close corporation) has a duty to comply with the Companies Act, and all relevant notices/enforcements/practice notes issued by CIPC as the regulator.
