Investment properties and intangibles look impressive on paper. When they're wrong, they cost your client credibility, and you the awkward audit conversation. ๐Ÿ“Š

This 2-hour session with Prof Cobus Rossouw breaks down how IFRS for SMEs Sections 16 and 18 actually work in real financial statements: when property qualifies as investment, what counts as an intangible, and when costs get expensed instead of capitalised.
Get the judgement calls right and you protect your clients,
strengthen the balance sheet, and give yourself one more thing to charge for with confidence.

No training. No manual. Just you, a spreadsheet, and the pressure to get it right.

Sound familiar?

Most bookkeepers in South African small businesses have never had someone show them the full picture. They just got on with it and quietly held businesses together.

Most medical practices are experts at healthcare.
Not necessarily at compliance, VAT, or financial risk.

Thatโ€™s where accountants who understand the medical sector become invaluable.

Medical practices are some of the highest-value clients in South Africa, but many are still underserved by finance professionals who truly understand their operational and regulatory environment.

When the claim gets rejected, โ€œwe thought we were coveredโ€ means nothing.

Most businesses only discover the gaps in their insurance policy after the damage is done.

Accountants who understand insurance law help clients identify exclusions, reduce risk, and avoid expensive surprises before itโ€™s too late.

Africa is about to trade differently.

And the accountants who understand compliance, onboarding, verification, and business credibility will sit at the centre of it.

Through Afreximbankโ€™s Africa Trade Gateway (ATG), African businesses will increasingly trade directly across borders using African systems and infrastructure.

That creates a major opportunity for accountants.

CIBA is developing the skills needed to help businesses enter and operate within this new trade environment.

Africa is opening.
The question is whether your practice will participate in it.
