Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:

• The Employment Equity 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 with more than 50 employees, you also need to submit EE report in your workplace.

Relevance to Your Clients:

• An entity with more than 50 employees (company or close corporation) has a duty to comply with the Employment Equity Act, and directors have to fulfil their duties accordingly, otherwise they could be held liable.
• An employer needs to then submit EE reports annually by the deadline date.
