Getting corporate compliance wrong is no longer a technicality, it carries real consequences.

Overview  

Getting corporate compliance wrong is no longer a technicality, it carries real consequences. Blocked annual return filings, administrative penalties, compliance notices, deregistration risk and director liability are all live outcomes for companies and their advisors who have not kept pace with South Africa’s rapidly evolving corporate regulatory framework.  

This practical, technically grounded session will equip you to navigate the latest Companies Act amendments and CIPC directives with confidence, and to advise your clients accordingly.  

Join Adv Dwight Snyman on the 23rd of June 2026 from 13h00 to 14h30 as he provides a practical and comprehensive overview of the recent Companies Act amendments and CIPC directives, explains their impact on company governance and compliance obligations and equips attendees with actionable guidance.
