This was such an informative video! I've literally spent hours trying to figure out exactly what this POPI act entails and this concise, to the point explanation was very helpful. Thank you!

This was a great episode....i wonder if a business invoice qualifies as personal information?

[@SAAccountingNetwork]

Good question, but I dont think so, otherwise trade will not be possible

Hi can you please advise. As employeer can I share my employee work contract with third party ? This reflects salary agreement and other benefits? Or I should reduct that information?

Are tax practitioners and bookkeepers obligated to apply for there clients?

[@SAAccountingNetwork]

I dont think so as its not a tax requirement, however I think we have a responsibility to inform our clients of changes in legislation, also if you compile financials you need to take NOCLAR into consideration. Bookkeeping is a more internal function, so dont think it will be their responsibility, but it would be good practice to inform management if you become aware of it.
