WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
To obtain the license you need to provide evidence of competence in the specialist area. This evidence is presented by passing an exam. The exam is set by an independent industry expert and accredited by SAIBA.
As a SAIBA licensed practitioner you will:
- Be equipped with the necessary skills to fulfill their statutory duties in terms of section 30(7)(b) and regulation 29 of the Act and Regulations.
- Be equipped with the necessary skills to apply standards of conduct, quality control and ISRS 2400 in performing an independent review.
- Specialist work attracts higher fees, with higher profit margins.
DESCRIPTION
The Companies Act, 71 of 2008 requires certain companies to be audited and others to have their financial statements independently reviewed by an independent reviewer. An independent review is an alternative to the audit but still allows an opinion to be expressed on the financial statements. Independent reviews have to be performed in terms of the International Standard on Review Engagements 2400 by a qualified independent reviewer.
The Licence: Independent Review Engagements is a pre-requisite for a BAP(SA) to obtain CIPC recognition and registration as an independent reviewer and perform independent reviews.
