ARE YOU LEGALLY COMPLIANT?

CPA

The Consumer Protection Act has come into effect on 1 April 2011 and has completely changed the face of consumer activity in South Africa. For consumers it means safer, more credible bargaining power and for suppliers it means ethical business standards to be employed.

If you still have not unpacked the Act, then you don’t yet realise the full effect it may have on your business or the changes that need to be made to the way you conduct business. You also don’t realise the potential value it may have for you.

Of utmost importance is the possibility that you may not be complying with essential aspects of the Act, making yourself vulnerable to very serious penalties and compliance orders, and even litigation.

I am able to provide you with a comprehensive CPA Manual detailing the general and salient aspects of the Act that your business may need to comply with. This Manual will be tailor-made to suit your specific business. I can also prepare a Risk Management Plan which will illustrate the aspects that need to be complied with, by when, by whom and how.  Thereafter a short action plan and checklist can be created for your convenience and quick reference on a periodic basis.

PAIA MANUAL

The Promotion of Access to Information Act Manual is a requirement for every business, entity or organisation no matter how small. Although extended to 2015, it is recommended that you comply with the requirements of the Act sooner rather than later.

LABOUR LEGISLATION

Do you really know whether or not you are complying with all the requirements of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Labour Relations , Skills Levy, UIF, Employment Equity Act etc.? I will be able to identify those requirements applicable to you and prepare an action plan for immediate implementation.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND TRANSACTIONS ACT

Do you really know what is required in terms of electronic messaging, electronic newsletters etc.?

GENERAL

I can prepare general contracts and agreements of sale, purchase, hire, employment, domestic worker agreements, sub-contracting agreements etc.; Wills, provide summaries, manuals and policies on legislation; prepare risk management and action plans for specific legislation and advise on action to be taken.

Fee structure - very competitive as no consultation fees etc. are charged. I also have a wealth of legal, corporate, risk and compliance experience to provide useful and practical insight to your problems.
