Statutory Description
Immigration attorneys rely on accountant‑issued certificates and factual finding reports to support Business Visa and Permanent Residence applications. Under Section 15 of the Immigration Act, No. 13 of 2002, licensed accountants are empowered to verify capital contributions, lawful source of funds, and employment creation. Attorneys require these reports to prepare regulator‑ready submissions that align with the Companies Act, 2008, Tax Administration Act, 2011, and FICA, 2001. The workflow ensures legal precision and evidentiary compliance for Department of Home Affairs applications.
