In heated discussions on the matter among various parliamentary committees on Tuesday, eight individuals were implicated in the massive fraud.
The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants on Tuesday said that it would investigate two of its members implicated in “alleged improper conduct'”related to the Steinhoff accounting fraud saga.
In a statement Saica said that two of its members, Markus Jooste and Andries Benjamin la Grange, were among those mentioned during the parliamentary session and that as such, they fall under the institute’s jurisdiction. “SAICA takes matters like these seriously and would like to reiterate that any SAICA member found to have contravened the SAICA Code will be held accountable.”
