The aim of the revamped platforms was to provide a foundation for full automation of CIPC processes, ease of doing business and offers a better user experience and quicker turnaround times.
Due to the problems experienced with the revamped E-services and BizPortal platforms, CIPC has taken the decision to roll back to the previous E-services and BizPortal platforms.
Friday, 13 January 2023: A troubleshooting session to help customers navigate the upgraded E-services and BizPortal platforms
Wednesday, 18th January: Director Amendments & Foreign Director Assurance
Thursday 19th January: Company registration and name reservations
Friday, 20th January: Open session CANCELLED
The webinars were streamed live on CIPC Facebook and YouTube.
Recordings of the 1st 3 webinars are available on the social media platforms, incl. YouTube and the CIPC Facebook Page
Webinar of 23 January 2023 was also CANCELLED, as CIPC has rolled back to the previous platforms.
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/customer letters 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/customer letters 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/customer letters issued by CIPC as the regulator.
