The need for
monthly accounting services is huge for number of reasons.
Small business owners tend to let the financial side of the business slide, because their prime focus is generating the money. Various administration duties and compliances tend to slip through.
Below is just some of the compliances a small business owner need to be aware of and even remember.
PAYROLL - PAYE / UIF / SDL
Professional looking payslip is important. Employees need to receive a payslip by law and also regularly need these payslips when applying for loans, bonds, hire purchases etc.
Without a proper payslip and employee will struggle with any applications.
PAYE / UIF / SDL need to be submitted and paid by the 7th of the following month. Failure to do this will have a 10% levied to it.
PROCESSING OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS / VAT PROCESSING
Invoices to clients, invoice from suppliers, bank statement and petty cash need to be processed regularly to ensure up to date figures. You would also need this processing to submit and pay the VAT return by the last day the following month. Failure to do this will also have a 10% levy on the amount payable. A VAT period will generally be for a two month period.
ANNUAL RETURN
Annual Returns need to be submitted on an annual basis. Failure to do this will put your company into deregistration. Once a company are put into deregistration you cannot further utilise it and all assets in the company will be stuck into it.
WCA / COMPENSATION COMMISSIONER
The WCA return need to be submitted to by May every year and be paid in full in order to receive a LETTER OF GOODSTANDING from them.
IRP 5 RECONCILIATION
IRP 5 certificate reconciliation need to be done bi-annually by end of October and end of May for the periods of August and February respectively.
From the above it is clear that you either need someone, internally or externally, in the business to assist you in meeting these deadlines on time.
