1981 – Start of dream

I, SG Smith, had the wonderful privilege to live my dream while I worked.

I registered as Chartered Accountant (CA SA)(SAICA) and registered as Registered Auditor (RE) (IRBA) in 1981.

Chartered Accountant CA. (SA) + Registered Auditor

I practice as sole practitioner from 1981 to Feb 2016 as SG Smith & Kie/Co. From March 2016 I practiced with partner in SG Auditors Inc.

Forensic Investigation + Auditing

I have obtained my Post Gradual Diploma in Forensic Accounting from UP. I supplied forensic services over period of 30+ years to various client local and overseas. South African Reserve Bank, SARS, State Attorney’s office, Maize Board, Sovereign Group of Companies (Australia, Mauritius, Singapore, USA & Canada) attorneys and various other are couple of institutions, entities and companies are part of my resume.

In 2018 I was appointed by High Court Pretoria to investigate as forensic expert into affairs of Ingwenyama Simhulu Trust, a trust that received property in Malelaan/Komatipoort area after successful land reform on behalf of about 10 000 beneficiaries. I still act as interim trustee of IST with 2 other persons as co-trustees. (2018- )

PROFESSIONAL WITNESS

I have acted as Professional Witness in numerous cases including for the Maize Board VS J Jackson and the Maize Board VS TA Hart, which was held to be a necessary witness in two judgments in the Supreme Court of Appeal. (Maize Board VS J. Jackson [2003(6) SA 592 SCA] and the Maize Board vs T.A Hart)

Stepdown from professional practice

After 41 years of practice as CA and RA I decided to part with the auditing profession and deregistered with IRBA at end of 2022.

I am honorable member of SAICA.

I do consult work in various fields of expertise but spend time more time with my adorable wife Elzabie Smith and reside in Hermanus to enjoy the wonderful area and still live my dream in full.

I have revisited my trademark name of SG Smith & Kie/Co to perform services as consultant.
