	<title>Deregistration risk: Why beneficial ownership should not be an afterthought</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/deregistration-risk-why-beneficial-ownership-should-not-be-an-afterthought-858413a</link>
	<description>Beneficial ownership reporting is still treated as mere paperwork for many business owners. However, failing to keep this information accurate and up to date now carries severe risks, warns Janus Joubert of JBS Advisory &amp; Accounting.

	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/celebrating-sas-real-mvps-171096a</link>
	<description>Every year on 16 October, Boss’s Day gives employees an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the people who lead them for their support. But in South Africa, there’s a category of bosses who deserve more than just a thank-you card from their teams – the small and medium enterprise (SME) owners. These are the leaders who collectively contribute a third of the country’s GDP and employ over 60% of the workforce.</description>
