Presenters : Carmen Westermeyer CA(SA) , Caryn Maitland CA(SA)
Overview
Recently, there has been an evolution to beneficial ownership requirements and this has made it imperative that every accounting professional understands how SARS has implemented these changes as well as know other related changes from the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC).
In this episode of our monthly discussion forum, the conversation will be centred on informing accountants on the above matters as well as assisting them on how to address the resultant challenges stemming from their increased compliance risk.
