Property Practitioners: Crucial Information for Accountants and Auditors

What you will learn

By the end of this event the attendee should have the following competencies:  

• • Awareness of the basic requirements of the Property Practitioners Act, specifically focusing on definitions.
  • Be knowledgeable on the contents of the Property Practitioners Regulations.
  • Understand contents of the Draft Guidelines on audit, accounting records and trust account requirements for business property practitioners.
  • Be able to link up your knowledge of this Act to other legislation that must be complied with e.g FICA, Debt Collectors Act, Auditing Profession Act and tax legislation. 
  • Act as a compliance advisor to clients who fall under the definition of “Property Practitioner”. 

Description

The Property Practitioners Act of 2019 commenced on 1 February 2022. It has an expanded definition of “Property Practitioner” that now includes many more people than before. 

What this means for accountants, auditors and independent reviewers is that many of their clients have technically become “Property Practitioners” and are now subject to the Property Practitioners Act and Regulations. To assist, the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority (PPRA) has issued a Draft Guideline that gives direction on specific requirements of the Act.
