Accountants work inside South Africa’s legal system every day, often without realising where legal risk starts. This session helps SMP practitioners understand the parts of the legal system that affect their work, so they can protect their practice, avoid disputes, and prevent costly mistakes.
R230,00 VAT incl.
Most accountants only think about the legal system when something goes wrong — a client dispute, a contract problem, or a decision that suddenly turns into a legal issue. By that stage, the risk is already real.
This session gives a clear, practical introduction to the South African legal system, written specifically for SMP owners and practitioners. It explains how the legal system works, how laws affect businesses, and how legal processes connect to everyday accounting and advisory work.
The focus is on real situations accountants face. You will learn where accounting advice ends, where legal risk begins, and how to protect yourself when clients push for answers outside your role. The aim is not to turn accountants into lawyers, but to help them work safely, confidently, and within proper professional boundaries.
