About the course
In the "twin peaks" model of financial services regulation, introduced by the FSR Act, the regulating authorities of the financial services sector are divided into two centres: the Prudential Authority and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority. The Conduct of Financial Institutions ("CoFI") bill means further developments in the industry.
This eight-hour course aims to demystify the relevant legislation that governs the twin peaks regulatory environment and aid participants in understanding the fundamentals of the CoFI bill.
This course provides an in depth overview of customary marriage law in South Africa, with a focus on recent legal developments and their practical implications. It examines the requirements, recognition and consequences of customary marriages, evolving case law, and current legislative reform debates. The course is practically oriented and aimed at professionals who encounter customary marriage issues in legal, policy and governance contexts.
