Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:
-
The Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965 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 who has deceased estates as clients, you need to consider how to report an estate to the Master or to a Service Point of the Master, as required.
-
If you are advising your deceased estate clients and relatives, you need to be aware of the latest information that the Master’s Office has issued.
Relevance to Your Clients:
