Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:
- PAIA is 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, accountant and independent reviewer, you need to consider updated information that is published by the Information Regulator (as they are responsible for PAIA in SA) – especially as it relates to operational functionalities and annual reporting obligation.
- As a Private Body, you also need to comply with PAIA in your organisation.
Relevance to Your clients:
- All private and public bodies (company or close corporation) have a duty to comply with PAIA, otherwise they could be held liable.
- Your clients need to consider updated information that is published by the Information Regulator (as they are responsible for POPIA and PAIA in SA) – especially as it relates to operational functionalities and annual reporting obligation.
