Companies Act, 2008 (Act No. 71 of 2008)

The CIPC and accredited professional bodies cannot provide assurance that all BRP's will provide high quality professional service at all times. Doing so would entail more than merely monitoring professional competence, for high quality professional service entails the application of that knowledge with professional judgement and an objective attitude.

However, despite the inherent limitations it is important to have a CPD programme in place, to make it possible for an individual member to fulfil his/her professional activities and responsibilities and to ensure the maintenance of professional standards, ethics and knowledge.
