Impact of the Civil unrest on your financial statements
Presenters : Caryn Maitland CA(SA)
Overview
On 12 July 2021, and for the rest of that week, KwaZulu-Natal and parts of Gauteng were rocked by extensive civil unrest. The impact of this unrest was significant loss of business, damage to property and loss in investor confidence. The damage and destruction that occurred impacted not only the businesses that were directly looted and vandalised but other businesses as well in terms of supply chain and logistics.
How will these events impact on financial reporting in the financial statements? What is the impact on auditors and reviewers, and what are the considerations for the way forward? This session is aimed at answering all these questions as we reflect on what happened and unpack the fallout and consequences for our clients and potentially our own businesses.
