Beneficial Ownership Course

Product Details

The in-depth Beneficial Ownership Course designed to help trustees, practitioners, and compliance professionals navigate South Africa’s evolving regulatory landscape. This session unpacks why beneficial ownership matters now, from FATF greylisting remediation and AML/CTF policy developments to the growing reputational and commercial risks for trustees.

We will cover the key statutory changes, define who qualifies as a “beneficial owner” of a trust, and outline the practical obligations for maintaining a compliant BO register. The webinar also explores the interaction between regulatory authorities (Master of the High Court, FIC, CIPC, SARS, and accountable institutions), enforcement trends, and recent case law shaping compliance expectations.

Through practical examples, risk management insights, and a step-by-step compliance roadmap, attendees will gain the knowledge needed to meet regulatory requirements and respond confidently to auditors, banks, and financial institutions during onboarding and ongoing monitoring.

Good afternoon Ashton,

Thanks for the informative sessions on the Tax for Beginners Self-Study Package. It’s a great course that clearly explains how to perform the calculations. Some points are repeated throughout the sessions, but that actually helps reinforce the concepts and makes the content feel more complete especially when the speaker covers topics like Capital Gains Tax (CGT).

Thanks once again I enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone that has no tax experience or even wants to do their own tax.

Kind Regards

I saw your course offered through Udemy, but I told myself, support local business direct, regardless of massive discount offered.

Thanks for your tireless attention to customer service.
