Companies Amendment Act

The Companies Amendment Act was signed into law on the 26 July 2024. For the first time in more than 10 years, we will see significant changes and strengthened regulations.



But how does this affect companies and their responsibilities? From clarified turnaround times, to increased disclosure responsibilities, all companies should be aware of the effect these changes will bring.


During this webinar, we will discuss all the changes and their impact on companies, their directors, consultants, accountants and auditors.
