Johannesburg - The
Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office (Cipro)
now requires certified copies of identity documents for all applications
and transactions.
"Cipro is constantly reviewing its business processes as well as related
controls," acting CEO Lungile Dukwana said
in a statement on Tuesday.
"The recent review confirms that Cipro processes and related business
rules require new measures which will assist Cipro in fighting
and reducing incidents of fraud and corruption that are usually
reported to us", she said.
These control measures included providing certified copies of the
green barcoded identity document.
In cases where more than one member was involved, such as a close
corporation or company, all members or directors were required
to provide certified copies of their identity documents, Dukwana
said.
"All applicants and users of Cipro services are requested to ensure
that from July 14 2010, certified copies of identity documents
are included on submission of Cipro-related applications and
transactions," she said.
A recent forensic probe showed that corruption and fraudulent practices
had taken place at Cipro and that several fake companies had
been registered to take advantage of tax returns.
Its CEO officer Keith Sendwe and chief information officer
Michael Twum-Darko were suspended for allegedly rigging tenders.
