Every education institution must determine whether its auditor is registered with one of the professional bodies indicated on the survey form and whose members are deemed to be registered auditors in terms of the South African Schools Act, 1996 (Act 84 of 1996) as amended (SASA) and the Adult Basic Education and Training Act, 2000 (Act 52 of 2000).

Institutions using registered auditors (in terms of Sections 43(1) and 43(2)(a) of the SASA) must complete only section A of the form.

Institutions using non-registered auditors, i.e. institutions using persons in terms of Section 43(2)(b) who are not registered with one of the professional bodies referred to in paragraph 3, must complete only section B of the form. Please note that these non-registered auditors must formally apply for approval to audit the financial records of schools. Schools that have not yet received such approval, must immediately apply via their education district offices.
